    Either is fine. Make sure you get a new bolt as technically they're one-time use.

    I think I am having a similar problem however I would like another opinion to confirm the symptoms. See attached video, can someone confirm if this is in fact my harmonic balancer and if this is ‘out of spec’ as I suspect?

    I didn’t read entire 2020 thread
    But
    Yeah that strip of rubber between inner/outer pulley rings becomes perished over time

    I will say I have seen a 3.5L Impala HB twice as bad as the vid. Owner/seller said was extreme engine damage.
