PuckPuck, how did you install the damper on your engine and how did you torque it down?






ummmm.... first with an impact gun (to prevent engine from turning while putting it on)... then wedge a screwdriver in there and torque it down to spec... ask me what that is and i'll tell you to look it up




I'm was wondering if it might be possible that the damper was pressed on with too much force. This could have cracked the crankshaft sprocket and led to the failure. Just throwing out alternative ideas here.... I was wondering more about the install/pressing on operation than the torquing.
