    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I needed to do both the radiator and a harmonic balancer. I suspected that the rubber in that 40 year old stock harmonic balancer if not shot would let go at the worst possible moment.

    Do you just "want" to do this or is there a need to replace the engine? My suggestion is: 1st Consider the torque that is required. -OR- In other terms: Do your targeting.
