Default Crank Pulley Wobble? with VIdeo, What do you think

Hey guys, I just was looking at my engine the other day and noticed a slight wobble on the crank pulley. I took a video, its a pretty shitty video and hard to see, but it is worth asking and getting some feedback.

any opinions?

I agree. It's a pretty shitty video and hard to see.

Hard to tell anything. It probably looks like a wobble due to the ribs not being exactly perfect. Take the belt off and see if you can wiggle the balancer by hand any. If so, you have problems. My guess is you're good tho.

Need to see the two pulleys lined up (parallel to each other) to tell if it's wobbling or not. Angle shot doesn't do it.

Looks to me like its moving in and out! You need to check the crank shaft end play AND be sure the bolt is tight. End play should be .002-.007 range but what I see in your video you have .040 or more.

Might be you moving the camera too, hard to say in that video.

I agree with the above, i think its just the ribs making it look off, or the video is tricking me
