balancer coming apart

Bakerlite said

Personally, I use ATI and Romac balancers , but I do understand that not everyone can justify/ afford them, and I don't carry on like a wanker with a "W9" just because I use them.
And your trying to tell me that all those companies have never had a comeback in the whole time they have been in business? Ha, that's a laugh !!
Wasn't Fluidamper responsible for a bunch of broken crank snouts??
Yeah, That's what I thought....

A Fluidamper never broke a crank snout. Incompetent machining did. They require .001 press and they were not being honed to fit. Also, I've seen some seriously stupid ways of installing a damper.


I would say publically ONE company was responsible for all the damper lies out there. I refused to buy from them in 1990. Still do.

If ANYONE thinks a rubber band damper works is fooling themselves. Rubber band dampers (regardless of brand name) have a very narrow frequency range. The ASSCAR guys have engineers who change elastomers for every condition. Even bobweight affects frequency (unless you call the brand "a" company....they will lie and tell you bobweight makes no difference) so how do they sell the same part number to 99% of the customers?
