Re: [Chrysler300] Just to put a damper on things...

[guyztoys@xxxxxxx]

How about a very audible symptom of damper failure ------ hope I remember  
this correctly.
 
One day while driving my 413 powered 300E, there came from under the hood a  
loud and horrible scraping sound --- similar to a fan chewing up a radiator  
after a collision.
Fortunately, I was almost home and nursed it the rest of the way.
 
The problem was the damper had failed with the outer ring of the damper  
moving toward the engine. The horrible sound was the outer ring of the damper  
chewing the timing chain cover.
 
The fix was a timing chain cover from another 413 , the damper (cleaned up  
and repainted of course) from a non-running 300E I had laying around,  and  
while I had it apart -- a new Mopar Direct Connection double  roller timing chain 
and gearset. The damper is still doing fine after all these  years.
