Harmonic Balacer Failure &/or Crankshaft Bolt

Since the Harmonic Balancer on stock Birds is
a key weak link in the chain that keeps it rockin,
it would benefit us owners to discern some stats
on shared failure rates by tranny type in case
that is statistically significant. Before this research
starts, I posit more failures should be prevelant
among MANUAL tranny owners: So, let's find out!

Secondly, maybe more owners ONLY experience
a Crankshaft Bolt failure, but we lack space to
assign responses by type. In case many select
this option, another topic could then be set up
to isolate relevant questions for breaking down
the statistics by tranny type for bolt failure.

If other Members discern other areas of possible
or probable benefit to research, I would encourage
such "definitions of the problem" SO THAT we
start gathering statsitically meaningful data on
failure rates by mechanical type, and courses of
action chosen to correct &/OR modify the situation.
For example, another study could/should determine
the number of members opting to replace damage
Balancers with BHJ aftermarket product, or other...
Etc. Thank-you for participating in this exercise ! Peace, virgil

Any replies to assist gathering of further data
to experience-rate these issues, that will haunt
our ownership would be appreciated!
