The rubber on my Harmonic Balancer is torn all the way around.I can turn the outer ring by hand a little. With S-belt on there is noise at idle,when i put into reverse or drive there is loud rattle.With S-belt off there is no noise at all engine runs fine at idle or in gear.Is my Harmonic Balancer the problem or is it something else? Possibly the alternator?
