NOT across the pulleys

Liam,
The line is painted VERTICALLY across the RADIUS of the pulley. The harmonic balancer (pulley) has a strip of rubber separating the inner and outer steel circumfrences. The rubber deteriorates due to age and exposure to oil.
Drawing a line vertically across the inner and outer steel sections of the balancer shows if the outer steel section is slipping in relation to the inner when they are supposed to be connected solidly by the rubber strip.
Slippage means the rubber strip is bad and the balancer will come apart eventually. Not a good thing. The balancer can either be replaced or rebuilt. Hans can buy one new because his is still available.
For more info, or to find out what the rubber is doing there in the first place, read an old post of mine by searching "what a harmonic balancer does."
