Re: Balancer is "friction welding"
 

I don't remember the specifics, but in the National Dragster months back, Rhear Morrison talked about engines and the use of two steps. If I remember correctly ( which is questionalble) it was talking about the damage it causes when using a two step on a burn out. May be worth trying to find the article and read it to see if anything pertains to your situation.

Alan , and all....thanks for the replies.

I called ATI ( Dave ) in tech and discussed this with him.

He was adamant that the balancer was way over due for an over haul for several reasons.

One of the reasons is that when new that balancer is only designed for an operating range below 8000 with the o'rings that come in it ( durometer ) . So it will be sent in and set up for what I am doing for as suggested by Alan a very reasonable cost.

I did not go into the 2 step with him other than to mention I now use one.......regardless he is very sure its all balancer related.

Joe,
Very glad I could help. I've actually seen this a couple of times recently and been through it myself. Glad to pass on what I learned to help others.
