Product Details

Dayco’s Race Performance Balancer line is aimed at performance-oriented engine setups that need a precise harmonic balancer with integrated accessory drive capability. The PB1480SS uses a steel outer ring and a neutral balance design, with no crank trigger/exciter plate, no woodruff key, and no hardware included. Its dual serpentine pulley arrangement and timing marks make it a practical choice for engines that retain accessory drive belts while requiring accurate crankshaft damping.

Fits 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, N/A. Fits 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, N/A. Fits 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird, N/A. This part cross-references Pioneer (e.g., 872041) for the same application. The Dayco PB1480SS is a direct-fit option for owners searching for a Pontiac GTO harmonic balancer, Chevrolet Camaro engine harmonic balancer, or Pontiac Firebird race performance balancer.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn or damaged harmonic balancer
• Restoring crankshaft vibration damping in performance engines
