March 31, 200917 yr comment_332842 1990 Toyota Corolla GTS 4AGE FWD My harmonic balancer gave out and I searched high and low to find one, toyota has them for $450 new. Took a chance on one from a auto wrecker in New York (I live in canada near vancouver). I explained in detail that it was for a 4AGE engine to make sure I am actually getting what I am ordering. 3 weeks later it finally shows up and ofcourse its not the same as my old one. Same diameter but weighs about 2 pounds heavier. The half that drives my alternator belt is skinnier, one fewer grooves. Now I don't know if its just a matter of getting a belt to fit and this one will work fine. I don't want to take a chance on screwing up my crankshaft without alittle more information. From what people have told me the harmonic balancer for the 4AGE GTS is specific to that car, no other engines use the same one. Any advice would be great. Rusty one is the one I recived from autowreckers. Black is my old and busted...you can see all the missing metal around the edges. Pics as requested. Edited March 31, 200917 yr by wetsok Report

I would be getting the correct one. Report
