Just wonder if anyone every run into problems with factory harmonic balancer or with engine vibration as engine age and pushing 2 or even 3 times the stock power level. I did a bit of search and dont seems to find anything.
Reason i am asking is because i m thinking replacing my stock crank pulley just as maintenance since my car is over 10yrs and pushing almost 2 times the stock power with ps2 turbos. I also have mfactory smfw and raised my redline to 7500rpm. Would rather be safe than sorry.
Anyone knows if a failing crank hub/poor balanced bottom end can cause
1) hub to slip?
2) rod/main bearings to go?
3) oil pump failure(this was a problem with m54 from what i know)
4) timing correction/knock?
5) any other problems? Like broken crankshaft(which i dont think i ever seen one on n54)
