i agree with pat, never seen one leak, . come to think of it, how many times do balancers just break apart?????????
stock ones will break apart you do not want to be around when it happens. this happens with a stock iron one that someone beat to helll with a hammer or the ring comes off . i have seen fluid damper crack thru the key ways and seen them with the end of the crank nose still in the hubQuote:

Oh,it was a Fluidampner.
If you call tech. at their company they will even admit their balancer's have a service life.
oh they do :) they use to say they did. but better and cheaper ones have come out now .i did use them were just a good stock one would work maybe? but not sfi and needed to be . but the 454 stock ones were hard to find not all beat to hell with a hammer or rubber was comming out from the ring so i did use them but the ati is betterQuote:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO,,,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,,,,,,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,,,,,AAAAAAAAAAAAA :LOL:
it was a customers car i was shaking down for the first time... it cost me about ten grand and one helper to fix it...
I would use Callies the Dragon Slayer Crank and Howard rods.
