[Healeys] Strange Crankshaft Damper

[Mark Donaldson]

Harold,

 

Here is a damper off my spare Wolseley 6/110 Mk II engine.  Yours on the left – mine on the right.

The Wolseley block is exactly the same as the BJ8 engine.  Same casting number and everything.

As you can see, the 6/110 damper is the same as yours.  I usually call them ‘harmonic balancers’.

A member our Healey club has started a restoration of a BJ8 with an unknown history. There wasn’t a serial number or any identify marks on the engine but the engine was painted blue and has a strange crankshaft damper. See attached picture. Does anyone recognize this crankshaft damper? Was it an aftermarket option back in the day? Did it come from a Westminster or ????

 

Regards,

 

Harold
