Once again, we have healthy disagreement. I can't comment on what the internals of an engine run without a damper and blown look like. Maybe Puppy is trying to say that it looks just like an oiling failure-that wasn't clear to me from the argument he put forth. However, I do know what a motor that has been starved for oil looks like when torn down.
Again, my experience with my 95, purchased new, with lots of miles has been no such failure! I'm talking about "real world" testing, not in a dyno cell. How many people have UDP's on their motors? If the stock damper is such a piece of crap and UDP's are sooo much worse, then..... Look at the available real world evidence and what do you see?
I'm not trying to sell anything or twist your minds. If you feel more comfortable replacing the single mode or UDP with a dual mode damper, do it! I, for one, remain unconvinced.
