HB1432N Powerbond Harmonic Balancer

Description

The HB1432N Powerbond Harmonic Balancer is a high-quality OEM replacement component designed to suit Ford 4.0L SOHC 6-cylinder engines, specifically found in models such as the Ford Falcon EF and EL, Fairlane NF and NL, and LTD DL produced between 1995 and 1998. Engineered for durability and precision, this harmonic balancer plays a critical role in maintaining engine smoothness and longevity by dampening torsional vibrations from the crankshaft.

⚙️ Purpose & Performance A harmonic balancer is essential for protecting the crankshaft from damaging vibrations that occur during engine operation. The HB1432N uses bonded dampening rubber, which offers significantly greater resistance to spinning and dislocation compared to traditional press-in rubber designs. In fact, Powerbond’s bonded design has demonstrated up to four times the strength in torque and push-apart tests, making it ideal for engines with serpentine belt systems or those operating under high stress.

🛠️ Construction & Materials This balancer constructs using SG (spheroidal graphite) iron castings. It is a material famous for its superior strength and resistance to cracking. Unlike cheaper grey iron alternatives, SG iron ensures long-term reliability and performance. The HB1432N is also dynamically balance at the factory. This helps reduce wear on surrounding components and ensures smooth engine operation.

📐 Fitment & Compatibility Designed as a standard replacement, the HB1432N is compatible with:

• Ford Falcon EF/EL (including XR6 variants)
• Ford Fairlane NF/NL
• Ford LTD DL All equipped with the 4.0L Intech SOHC 12-valve MPFI engine. This balancer does not include a timing ring excitor, so it’s important to verify compatibility with your specific engine configuration.

🚗 Installation & Value Sold as a complete new assembly, the HB1432N does not require a core return or deposit, making it a hassle-free solution for engine rebuilders and repairers. It’s ideal for both standard maintenance and budget performance builds, including “claimer motor” circle track racing applications.

In summary, the Powerbond HB1432N Harmonic Balancer offers a perfect blend of OEM fitment, enhanced durability, and vibration control. Whether you’re restoring a classic Ford or maintaining a daily driver, this balancer delivers reliable performance and peace of mind.
