Would this damper be of benefit to all the Vortechs that are dying of wobble. I understand that this mainly helps the crank, but would imagine it helping out the jackshaft in some positive way. Tery regarding you posts on the 3.0 "oil problem" or more so lack of it, could you elaborate a little more for the simple minded folks.

Well, simply put, if your read the Taurus forums, you won't find a bunch of 3.0 Duratech owners screaming about oil starvation and dead engines. I'm pretty sure that's what Terry means by the lack of a 3.0 oiling problem.

Any vibrations/wobble/etc the crank pulley has would be absorbed by the belt before it would reach the Vortech pulley anyways. I might be wrong though, but I just don't see how the crank pulley would have anything to do w/ jackshaft wobble. John

John I dont think it would make difference either, but anything that can cut vibration (since it is all connected to the same motor/assembly) may help a little. Just a thought though. Regarding the 3.0, I was just curious as to why if they have the same oil system there is no common failure, but i guess thats all in the "head"

...EdYeah I've seen that - look at the Y-axis on page 12! Engine RPM vs RUMBLING NOISE..... All analysis like this points out 400hz damping 'cause that's where the ear will pick up the "rumbling noise" Basicly says the same thing as the dinan article - but both Supras and BMW's are I6 engines so what goes for them may be a little different for us.....
