It is a very good idea to check things...
Hi everyone !
I am in process of continuing working on my 67 Barracuda.
It was put on hold while me and wife fixed up retirement home.
A while back I bough a motor, a 416 stroker.
It had a Chinese Harmonic Damper installed.
I said: no way.
I purchased a new Fluidamper and removed the Chinese one.
This is what I saw: The timing cover was not installed correctly causing off center metal on backside of damper to rub on case. The damper part was also out of round, so it just ate up some of the cover.
This was a professionally built motor. The rest of it looks VERY GOOD !
I am buying a new case.
There was also overspray (red) on crank snout.
Also I had to buy a 3/4x16 thread chaser because when I pulled old damper, the bolt had a couple places in threads that didn't look right. I'm using a new ARP bolt and don't want to mess it up too! I had to pay $65.00 for a tool I'm only going to use once!
