White Numbers Stamped on Harmonic Balancer

[95GSTowner]

" 16261T " stamped in white letters on the harmonic balancer. I'm just curious if anyone knows exactly what these numbers mean? I'm guessing it's the mileage when either the balancer or timing belt was changed at the dealership. I've seen this before on my old 91 gsx and 95 gst. Both had different numbers. I'm changing the T-belt next week so I'm more interested if these numbers indicates the balancer was changed at 16,261 ? It's a running 97 GST and currently has 190k, Thanks

Heres a pic

Only numbers I have on mine are molded into the rubber layer and I know it's unmolested I bought the car new... 16000 is very early for a replacement, if your worried the piece of mind is worth the cost of a new damper!

Couldn't see your pic til I posted yeah that's a factory stamp not mileage..!

Thanks for the quick response and I agree with replacing it as a piece of mind. I was just curious what the numbers meant.

They have nothing to do with mileage. I'm pretty sure all of my dampers (both that came on the car and purchased brand new) have that same stamp on them.

thanks for confirming this. I like checking things like this out. I know the timing belt tensioner has a date stamped on them so I thought this balancer stamp could have some useful meaning to it. The thought 1st struck me when I had my previous DSM, the previous owner told me he had the harmonic balancer changed near 100k. When I looked at the balancer I saw 90234T. I don't remember the exact #'s but it made me think yeah it was changed at 90K and they put that on the balancer. Anyway, it was just a thought and I appreciate the support from u guys.
