Do you mean that you use longer bolts that go into the crank to give the threads more bite as the dampener goes on? Sounds like that is what you mean. That is a great idea.
Yes, you are correct. I just went to the tractor supply store and bought a couple of longer grade 8's.... though grade 5's ought to be fine to just pull the damper onto the crank.
135 ft-lbs is what I have ('65 Plymouth FSM and other sources like MyMopar). I would take that over the Chilton's numbers. Your life just got 35 ft-lbs harder... LOL
