Fine, then I did it wrong. Thats all i was driving for was a reason. All i heard prior was "your probably damamged your crank" what does that mean exactly? So now I know. To be honest, It wouldnt be the worst thing if it goes in 10k miles. I'll put the old damper back on (sans tapping) and get a new engine for my $100 deductible. As for the snout, when i got the DMD on far enough for the old bolt/washer to be used to push it on, it was just as hard to get on as it was to get off, so at least it looks like im ok there.
