YES... The sound can be compared to a engine knock. If the problem is not fixed enventually you will be left stranded. The center of the balancer will break loose from the drive pulley section . This will cause you to lose CKP sensor operation as well as all your drive belt operations.

Does a harmonic balancer knock when it goes bad on a 305 Chevy?
The balancer is made of 2 pieces That have a rubber piece in the center of them that hold the balancer together. If the balancer comes apart YES it will knock / make noise and the engine would vibrate/shake. You would be able to move 1 piece of the balancer with your hand if that was the case. Check it.

Oil leak from harmonic balancer Chevrolet 350?
The oil leak is probably comming from the top of the oil pan there is a rubber gasket that goes between the oil pan and the water pumb which would make it look like its comming from the harmonic balancer, try replacing the oil pan gasket this should fix the problem. New answer: There is a small round oil seal / Harmonic balancer seal that fits in the timing cover and the balancer slides through the center of it. That is probley were your oil leak is. Most of the time the balancer itself gets a groove wore in it over time from that rubber seal running on it. You can repair the balancer by buying a Harmonic balancer repair sleeve/ speedy seal. Also replace the front timing cover seal.
What would cause your 1989 buick park avenue to knock?
== == I do believe if you hear a knocking noise that your crank shaft could be failing. Which means you will need a new engine. Have it checked out. Replace the harmonic balancer they will make a bad knocking noise. When you start it and the oil light goes out and it knocks, this is what is wrong with it.
How can I tell if a 350 Chevy harmonic balancer is bad?
About the only thing that goes wrong with the factory balancer is the elastomer wears out and the outer ring can move. This would make it hard to set the ignition timing since you wouldn't know where tdc is.

How do you find the adjustment on a 2.9l ford engine for timing?
Well to begin with, it all depends on where you live. For example, if you live in Colorado the timing should be set to 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). First, there is an in-line spout connection. It looks like a jumper plug. Unplug that connector. Then get a timing light, one with an advance dial, and set the dial at 10 degrees, and "shoot" it at the harmonic balancer. On the 2.9L V6 the timing marks are on the harmonic balancer. There is an arrow that sits over the harmonic balancer on the passenger sider of the engine. Locate it and "shoot" your timing light at it. If the timing light is set at 10 degrees, then the number on the harmonic balancer should look like this TIC. That means you're timing is right on the money. If it doesn't then loosen up the distributor hold down clamp and turn the distributor until it goes to TIC. Hope this helps. Clay Colorado
