They didn't mess around. At 8:30am motor was still in car and had headers on it. what time did you get the pictures?

I got the photos around 12 ish -- and when Chuck called to ask about swapping out the Rattler balancer for the Fluid Damper version -- they had already painted it and were letting it cure...


Anyone know why they call a balancer "The Rattler"?

From there website Greg,

Rattler® are steel rollers that fit loosely into a specific number of holes. By using an exact mathematical relationship, the rollers will roll forward during compression strokes and roll backward during the power stroke to keep the engine speed variations and vibration, to a minimum.

The only time you may hear the Rattler® is when starting and stopping the engine. When you hear the slight "click" you know the Rattler® is ready to work. The slight noise could have been eliminated but TCI® decided to keep it as a distinguishing trademark.


I had one on my old 383 in the El Camino, I did notice that the engine ran smoother and had less vibration,there pricey but do what there supposed to I guess.

Love the new updates Greg, any other new goodies coming or changing?
