Noise from crankshaft pulley?

(1/5) > >>

Hello all,

Discovered a rattling noise coming from my crankshaft pulley. I noticed this morning almost like a rattling noise coming from the belts. further investigation showed noise coming from the crankshaft pulley area. Cant identify the cause because the belts seem to be in good condition and the correct tightness. Any ideas? I couldn't figure out how to post the video here so there is a link to my tiktok page showing the video. Engine is a 1982 305.



Thank you

It looks like the elastomer ring is walking out from between the balancer outer ring and its hub.  The outer ring is probably slipping, so you will need to replace the balancer assembly and seal.  A still picture should make it more discernible.  Don't wait too long, or the ring might begin to rub and drag against the timing chain cover.  Good weekend project.

Well I think you were right about the balancer I believe the noise was the rubbing on timing chain cover. I believe it’s the 6.75 inch diameter balancer. Do I need a new pulley as well? Also, where to get a new seal?

Thank you
