87 vs 89 240 GL same engine?

[Jimbo]

Did they have the same engine? Should a damper pulley (harmonic balancer,
crankshaft pulley, whatever you want to call it) for an 87 model work as
well on the 89 model?

I think there was a redesign in 1988.

Yes, the crankshaft pulley should be interchangeable.

The engines are virtually identical, just a few small updates. Damper pully
from an older B230 will work fine on a newer one.
