That would be a good idea.
I just got home from swapping the harmonic balancer on a friend's Toyota.
Last summer when he broke the timing belt, we discovered that the timing mark
was about 70 degrees off from where the pistons were. Balancer looked OK, so we
just slapped it back together. This week he started having accessory drive
problems. The balancer had failed and the pulley was trying to chew a hole in
the timing cover.
The moral to the story is that if the timing mark on the balancer is incorrect,
replace the balancer NOW.
