1966 Olds 442 Vibration Damper

Is there any place that rebuilds 1966 442 Vibration Dampers? Mine has a groove in the sealing surface.

You can buy a rebuilt or have yours rebuilt, search "harmonic balancer rebuilding" . You can get a repair sleeve for the hub where the seal wears a groove in it if that's what you're talking about? I got a timing gasket set at NAPA and it came with it and a little tube of stuff to stick it on if needed, mine has the repair sleeve and no problems in three years.

Here are a few of places, not much price difference in buying a rebuilt one from the damper doctor and sending back the core or having it rebuilt?
I always thought they would be more expensive to rebuild or buy?
Think mine may have some balancer slip because the timing mark is off, good W word project.
