Harmonic Balancer Weight

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

Well I've got one of those "There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people" type questions.

I removed my timing cover today, as after fitting my milodon water pump I had a coolant leak from behind the timing cover plate. In doing all this I thought maybe I'd get an aftermarket harmonic balancer, coz I keep reading about how important it is and how people just tend to throw the old balancer on decent engines after a rebuild.

Well my first surprise was the cost of these things. Then after picking myself up off the floor choices of weights were thrown at me 28oz, 28.2oz and 28.4oz. My 'dumb' question is what are the different weights for and how does one match a weight to your engine?

This could be compounded by I have no knowledge of my 351C and whether it has been worked in a previous life. So, is a new HB even worth the investment?

Thanks
Julian
