Does anyone know of a place where I can get one for less than $42 ... Dealer quoted me $50 the parts houses $42.. seriously is it made of some space age polymers used only on interstellar assault vehicles?? LOL.

 

You mean the oil seal that the balancer rides in?? I picked mine up at Advance Auto for $13 for the whole kit. Try the local parts places and ask for the "Timing Cover Gasket Set" or "Front Cover gasket Set" and see if the seal is in there. Bet it is for the 13 bux. Toss the gasket unless you are replace the cover too..

 

Called em back. They were Uhm a bit confused. LOL. I got one for 10 buxs. Much better now. LOL.

 

My bad.. Its $9.44. Lol.. Will fit the 4.0 and 2.5L engines. All years.

Searched for "Timing Cover gasket Set". First hit.

I should have grabbed a pic earlier. lol..

 

Well, since his issue is resolved and I really don't feel like starting another thread about harmonic balancers I'll just ask here.

My harmonic balancer is barfing rubber stuff out the front... that can't be right, can it? Can I fix it or do I need another one? Or can I just leave it the way it is and focus my attention on the Death Wobbles?

 

F1 it Definatly needs replaced before it pukes the outer part into ur radiator.

 

Barfing rubber!! Get that from the FSM? LOL. Replace it for about $50?

 

I see it all the time. Radiators need "burped" engines "crap" out. His balancer is "barfing" rubber. Heck I even had an engine take a "dump" once. LMAO.

 

Dayum, don't know whether to take it to a mechanic or a doctor.

 

LOL. Well I claim to be neither. But I got the seal installed, no more leak.

 

Thanks for the tips, everybody! Working on the Death Wobbles today... When I realize what I've done didn't make them stop it I'll replace my harmonic balancer just to get my mind off of the other issues.

Thanks again.
