Take a look on this thread on Speedtalk. Wolfplace (Mike Lewis) is a very credible engine builder. I don't always agree with him on parts selction for power, but never on how to put a motor together.

See the pics of his a few posts down on;

Want this to happen in your boat ?

MER Performance

It tells the story; in and out of the throttle, the outer ring is moving so much it won't stay together.

Yikes. Thats scary.

I see the powerbond balancer MER mentioned is avail at a good price. Seems like a quick internet search yielded some good reviews on them. I believe my local "enginepro" distributor, sells these balancers under their enginepro label.

Also, consider this.........
When a dampener fails in a car, the pavement gets a scuff in it from the flying debris.
When a dampener fails in a bilge, the hull may get a nice "window" in it from the flying debris.

I don't want a gaping hole in the bottom or side of my hull!
