But for only $10 more or so, I will have me a fluid damper that softens vibrations on a much broader rpm range. So what should I do????

For what it's worth, I also suggest rebuilding the original or replacing it with the same type.

request
for information I would like to add this link: www.440source.com/dampers.htm The first damper on this page is a stock damper (allthough it is SFIapproved..) and the second one is a fluid damper (just like Fluidampr
is
selling for almost three times as much). So I think I will choose one
of
those two.Can anyone explain to me (Dick B. or Paul W. maybe ?) what the
benefits
are of a fluid damper. I have been told that a fluid damper is workingbetter at a broader rpm range than a standard elastomer (rubber)
damper.
Is this true, and willit do my engine and bearings good because they suffer less from
harmonics?
Thanks in advance for your help, Robert van der Es 1960 Imperial Crown Hardtop Op Ma, 8 januari, 2007 4:47 pm, schreef Rob van der Es:Hello gang!, First of all I would like to wish y'all a Happy New Year. To start my new Imperial year the right way, I am preparing my 1960 Imperial for the coming riding season (that will be the end of Aprilthen,considering the climate overhere). One of the things I would like to replace is the harmonic damper (sometimes called a balancer but that ain't the right word for it,sincethe cranckshaft of our 413's is internally balanced). I think theouterring of mine has slipped over the years, resulting in an incorrecttimingmark. I also think that since the ring was able to slip the rubberbetweenthe inner and outer ring is malfunctioning. So I am looking for a new one. Now my question: should I go for anormalreplacement damper (with rubber elastomer inside) or should I go for
a
high tech fluid damper?? I have been told that fluid dampers are much betterfor a long engine life (read crankshaft and bearing life) since theyare able to absorp harmonics over a wider rpm range.Any thoughts?
