Hi All
So I started doing a timing belt change and my harmonic balancer has come apart in my hands (AC pulely has separated). I have been told by my local Porsche dealer in Australia that the part number is 944-102-123-06 and is NLA. Pelican do list this number and I have emailed them about it, but I am not hopeful. Does anyone know of a source?

Thanks

Daniel

Thanks all.
I'd prefer to stay away from a used one if I can. I will email that eBay seller to see if he has stock, but his quantity is at 0.
Regarding the rs barn part, I have seen there site and emailed asking if it is a direct replacement part with the standard ac pulley but have not received a response. Does anyone know if they are a direct replacement part?
Thanks

Never used the product so I cannot speak for it. I have a good factory unit if you are interested.

Hi Daniel944. You probably have resolved this by now but just in case or for anyone contemplating a harmonic balancer/damper replacement a little info:

From my understanding part # 944-102-123-05, later updated to 944-102-123-06 was developed for the crankshaft harmonics of the 2.5L engine and found to be sufficient by Porsche for the 3.0L so no changes were made. 2 years ago I was researching a damper for my 968 because I had switched to a lightweight single mass FW. The RSbarn Harmonic balancer is 3lbs 8oz from what I was told. It bolted in directly at least on my 968 with a required minor radius cut out (dremel) on the belt cover to allow belt cover fitment (very simple). The factory damper is 3lbs 1oz which was designed for 2.5L motor and crank. I was told that the RSbarn harmonic balancer was R&D'd for the harmonics of the 3.0L engine. Mine has been great, very high quality part (rebuildable) and no issues thus far (guess I will find out when I tear apart and rebuild soon). Hope this helps. Cheers

Plus 1 on RSBarn. Spend the 500.00 and you will be amazed how well your engine/car runs. I put this on my 90 S2 back in October 2016. Prior to this it was jerky jerky start in morning for about 5 minutes til it got warmed up. Now it has smoothed out the shifting straight out of the garage. I had to dremel out the hole in the timing belt cover for an hour or so to keep this slightly larger piece from rubbing on it. But so very worth it. Easy job. Just takes time to move all other parts and pieces out of the way.
