Fluid Damper question
So I'm getting ready to install the 390 stroker, but have a concern about the damper. The crankshasft only has 1.5 inches of shaft to install the damper on, but the damper mounting tube is 2.5 inches deep. This will leave about 1 inch without any thing to hold on to. Is this normal?
|
I would call the manufacturer, and have a chat with 'em. Isn't that going to push the crank pulley out too far as well?
|
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that Fluidampr didn't make dampers for small block Magnums.
|
Sorry, bad use of descriptive terms. The harmonic balancer is a Napa factory replacement.
|
Are you saying that there is only an inch and a half of crank snout coming out past the timing chain cover?
|
Compare it to your old one, and see what you think.

That does seem short. I think the OEM crank is 3-4 inches roughly but it's been a couple years since I put my timing chain in.

Timing chain and crank snout with bolt. I know it's a big picture, but you need something with some detail. The balancer should go through the front cover onto the snout with a round section, leaving the balancer portion and pulley in the right place. Note the keyway, and how far back it goes. |

This answers the question. Just pulled the balancer bolt of an untouched 5.2. The crankshaft does not go to the edge of the balancer. |
