That sucks. What'd it get pinged for?

[arronm]

Window tint too dark.   Nothing else.. We didnt put it on, was done in VIC.

Uncontrolled release of the harmonic balancer 

[Puffwagon]

Wasn't that your car at rw?! Did you end up upgrading eventually?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Nah my balancer was technically still bolted to the crank, R R Ron buys balancer bolts in packs of 6

is there video of said action that required a "warning"?

I would also love to see said video. Purely for ah... research purposes?

[arronm]

Yep , both F6 have destroyed the stock balancer.  The factory unit just handle high sustained RPM

 

Cracks through the keyway. 

 

I was so worried about the BF I didn't check the BA.  I reckon I cracked it on the last run.  Held over 6200rpm for a while 

 

All good now.  Both cars and even the territory has forged balances now.

Were you hitting the limiter often?

[arronm]

Never on the BF. It's at 6500

 

Maybe a dozen times on the BA over 13 years.
