A year ago, i bought a Pioneer Harmonic Balancer.
It was beautiful unit with a nickel-plated looking finish.
Now... 1 year later... The finish is all but gone! It looks like it's peeling off. The shine is gone and it looks like bare metal now.
The engine still performs as expected and no problems with vibration or timing but cosmetically, the balancer looks like it's rotting away.
Is this is normal wear and tear?
