The energy released during combustion and transformed into rotary motion requires a damper to minimize the vibrations that can lead to automotive ruin. The traditional solution for this is the harmonic balancer. We recently hooked up with Mississippi-based TCI Automotive to learn more about balancers and why they see their new Rattler torsional vibration absorber as an option for people building engines for both street and strip applications. powerTV is currently building two engines for different applications — read on to see how each one was built and how they both benefited from TCI Automotive’s technology.
