4.6 sohc.
When i start up the engine(cold) Their is a loud clicking sound.
And when it is doing this it looks like the belt is going to jump off the crank (Harmonic balancer)and the belt tensioner is jumping!:banghead:
Once the motor is warmed up it stops.
The harmonic balancer is wobbling somewhat.
Could the balancer be the problem?
Thanks

It could definitely be a problem! If the harmonic dampener (these engines are internally balanced) fails, the belt will slip off, and who knows what can happen with a flying off harmonic dampener.

Replace it if necessary and use a brand new bolt since it is a one time use torque-to-yield bolt.

Thanks for the reply.
I think that the crank pully is the problem.
Thanks again
