Tell him your seating it and then ask him "Do the intials MYOB bear any significance to you?" I have seen literaly hundreds instaled that way both in machine shops and by amatuers. I have never seen one ever once damage a thrust. . I know it does seem a bit rough but back in the day 40 years ago there was nothing else. I usually set the damper in front of a heaterfan for about 1/2 hour and lube the shaft well. the first pop till it gets to bolt depth is so easy sometimes you think you could almost push it on. How do you thnk it gets installed at the factory? Quickly would be # 1 there. Sure an installer would be nice but ----------- well you know.

I always install the crank dampener with a hammer and a block of wood, until it is on enough that the threads on the crank bolt can reach, then finish it with the bolt. My friend says I am damaging the crankshaft main thrust bearing by doing it this way. Is that true? ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
