dgk102001 Junior Member D Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 18 Illinois	I own an all original unrestored 1953 3800 with 216 motor. I know it has the original engine and original harmonic pulley on the front of it. Question is can this 52 years old balancer be functioning properly? I would think the rubber ring would deteriorate. How long can these last. Am I risking a crankshaft failure?
