Very slightly used and inspected by IW. Innovator West IW833 10% over drive crank pulley damper 8 rib but can use 6 rib. This also has the optional HD blower snout.
I had this on my 2005 GTO for less then 300 miles and developed an oil leak, which I found we damaged the oil seal during installation. I removed it and installed a new seal. But then thought we had damaged the unit as it appeared to wobble ever so slightly. I was pressed for time, so I opted to rush a new replacement. I sent this unit to Innovator West and they inspected it and determined that there is no damage or wobble, the run out is fine. What we determined was that when using a double roller chain you have to shim the oil pump and this balancer requires the snout to be machined to accept it or do not run a spaced out oil pump.
So.... while they had it, I paid them to machine the snout, so it can be used with a spaced out oil pump with a double roller chain, or a regular. (This was their recommendation and is a service they offer).
Unit cost new $550.00 plus blower snout is $25 plus machine work $48
Selling for $450.00 shipped. Comes with used crank bolt and hardware and instructions. I do not have the optional pinning kit, that can be purchased directly from IW. Buyers responsibility to make sure of application.
