Fluid dampener pulley alignment question

Innovaters West and even ATI need to be spaced according to both websites.

You just about can’t make a damper OE sizes and expect it to work IF you change bob weight, change the RPM, change the crank materiel, change the stroke or any and all of the above.

That’s why main caps fail (its not detonation like everyone thinks), that’s why cranks fail (it’s not bad forgings, bad castings, detonation, heavy pistons or anything else) and that’s why bolts come lose and all kinds of maladies.

I posted a link in the racers forum of a webinar that covered a ton of this stuff.

The damper has to get thicker because it can’t get bigger in diameter. Look at the Direct Connection Hemi damper. It was made thicker. It’s all they can do.

If you change any of the above and are still running an OE damper you are taking a chance for no real reason other than saving a few bucks and some work.
