Detailed Product Description and Specifications

The Dayco PB1168N engine harmonic balancer features a cast iron outer ring, which offers strength and resistance to wear. It includes one integrated serpentine pulley with six grooves, measuring 193.5 mm (7.619 inches) in diameter, designed to accommodate serpentine belts commonly used in the specified vehicle models. The balancer has a neutral counterweight balance, meaning it does not include additional counterweights, which aligns with the original engine design for these vehicles. The crank bore diameter is 21.94 mm (0.864 inches), ensuring a precise fit on the crankshaft. This balancer does not include a crank trigger or exciter plate, hardware, installation instructions, timing marks, or a Woodruff key, so these should be sourced separately if required.
