If it has tits, it's a liabilititty.
I even bought fancy installer tool... seems a shame to use it on the stock balancergonna spoil it if i don't get out the deadblow

Exactly.
Overkill for most... and if someone were to swap them in the middle of the night.. they'd never know it till they popped the hood.

Seems like plagiarism to you because you don’t have a clue.
That’s why you say there is no difference in dampers.
Of course, we know you have all the equipment to test damper and evaluation them in your shop.
My reply to the guy that wants a reliable 500 hp is to save 10- 15 grand, as most of those asking are starting from scratch and have no skill. Things start to add up.
When I started out in the mid/ late 70's everyone I knew worked on their own stuff, camshafts were $39.99 and carb and intake combos were $150, paid $150 for Hooker fender headers.

Whichever one you get, don’t forget that most “performance” dampeners will require honing the bore to properly fit the crankshaft snout.I even bought fancy installer tool... seems a shame to use it on the stock balancer

I'm sensing a trend with this place.
I don't think he was claiming that.
The fact is 99% of the builds out there don't need a super duper damper. It never did any good for them small block Chevy guys with their gear drives and rods hanging outside of the block.
More importantly is to have a well- balanced rotating assembly and everything true.

i just ignore it.. meh..
Sometimes we had to make them line up, fabrication.
Get back on topic and knock off the personal insults.
I would hate to lock this thread because a few can't hold an adult conversation.
I have better things to do then respond to reports.

I agree, later on someone will end up reading it when they search here, or end up here new to the site from searching Google etc for damper info.
I found my old thread when I had questions about the two I had and what on what one use pro, con and if powder coat was safe to use to keep them looking good. As same as OP i had a few choices as well and wanted pulling to line up.
As we all know some just want to bolt on and have things work and save the frustration for another battle in the war of non stock parts.

BTW.. just doing some quick reading about how they work..
The Sterling Damper Torsional Vibration Absorbers are pendulum absorbers developed to control amplitudes of vibration and angle of crankshaft twist like no other design. Their ability to absorb, rather than dampen, is the key to their success. The Sterling Rattlers are effective for the entire rpm range and they extend crankshaft and bearing life. The Rattlers also allow the engine to run more smoothly, which can potentially increase valve-train stability and life. Their design does not utilise viscous fluids and they require virtually no maintenance. Although we cannot guarantee that you will never experience another cracked block or crankshaft again. Our track record however, has thus far proven a significant reduction in this risk.
The Sterling Damper works by opposing the torsional forces created in the crankshaft by the power strokes. It has a number of rollers allowed to oscillate or shuttle within pockets, causing a counteractive force to those damaging the crank.

yeah, i'm just sticking the stock one back on.. for now....
I’ve been looking for a Rattler for a while. If I could find one I’d surely buy it.
At one time I was going to call TCI and find out what the issue is and if they had a time frame for getting them but I just didn’t have the time.
