Two-piece harmonic balancer. No more pesky having to turn the crank with a 27mm socket to check your timing belt. Just rotate the marked portion until it lines up with the pointer on the center belt cover.
It also makes dialing in your cam timing a snap!
It's very easy to convert your OE balancer into this new two-piece design: just wait long enough.
(Editor's Note from Captain Obvious: the above is sarcasm.)
I took this off of a 50k-mile '87 this morning.
Doc Brown's been singing the swan song of the original balancers for some time. This is a coda for that song.

Great idea. I'll contact them and see if they're willing to do a core exchange service: Order a 2-peice balancer and put your 1-peice core in the box for return.
In all seriousness, I'm going to start a new (serious) thread about this. I want to gather some thoughts on why this failed the way it did.
After updating to the new design, is it possible to do rebuilds by only ordering the rubber part, "when it wears out?" Or is it long life, never-wear-out rubber?
