How long has the chicom fluid damper been on there? Seem like decent quality?
I’d love an ATI or TCI unit but I just can’t see paying over $300 for a balancer that will never get spun over 6500 rpm.
Been on there since 2015. I've used Fluidamper since I bought my first one in 1990 after an argument with ATI. With a bobweight of just over 1800 grams and a shift RPM of 8200-8300 ATI was trying to stuff an off try shelf damper up my ***. I wasnt buying that.
I've used them on almost everything. The only other damper I'd consider is the Innovaters West.
The big deal with ANY damper is honing the bore of the damper to have .005-.0010 press fit and that's it. My chicom damper came with .0031 press on it. Which is better than being loose. They can't make the bore correct for every crank snout so I'd rather hone the bore to fit.
BTW, when they first came out,and were braking snouts off cranks it was because they weren't being honed.
