360 Damper Install

That's seated. It can't go on any further.

BTW, I never use anything in the oil pump. I just take the cover off, use some assembly lube on the rotor and scroll and put it back together. Don't use cam lube, use engine assembly lube.

I've never seen vasoline or anything else make the engine prime faster. Even if you do the vasoline thing you still need to prime the system by hand before firing it off.

Make sure the total timing is at 40 degrees or more, up to about 50. Don't time it at zero. Once you get a few minutes on it, you can pull it back to 38 or so if you're uncomfortable. Slow timing will stick exhaust valves and make it hard to start.
