What is the proper press fit for Fluidampr?
Proper press fit is .0005 – .0015″. Maintenance of a proper press fit between the damper i.d. and the crank snout o.d. is critical for damper performance. That’s why a hammer should never be used to install a damper. Pounding can cock the damper on the snout causing the i.d. to open up. It can also cause wallowing out of the bore, or the damper spinning on the crank. A threaded installation tool presses the damper in place evenly without putting stress on the threads in the crank snout. I have not seen a damper for my application, could you custom make one? No. Due to the vast number of engine specifications influencing the characteristics of torsional vibration and the time involved in properly fitting and testing a damper/engine combination, it is far too expensive for most users to contract Vibratech to custom engineer dampers for specific applications. Should Fluidampr or Streetdampr be used in supercharged applications? Yes. Fluidampr or Streetdampr can be used in these power plan
