Default Damper install issue

Hi,

I am rebuilding my engine from stock to stroker, and change damper for the jeggs overdrive one ( http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performan...16253/10002/-1 )

This one realy hard to install (boiling it 30mn, and use hammer on a wood stuff, until the bolt was usable... turn the bolt as hard as possible... and i think i need to pull in 0.18" more

Does i need realy to pull in 0.18" more ?

How can i do this ?

I will send pic in a few minutes

view of the large space available at the back of the damper





if damper and crank need to be at the same position, i need to pull in damper 0.18" more

Your thread is hard to understand, but did you use a bolt to pull the balancer onto the crank? If so that's not the correct way to do it. Go to a parts store and get a crank balancer install tool.

You lucky the threads didn't rip themselves from the crank snout.

The end of the crank is not supposed to be flush with the balancer. The pic you showed looks exactly as it should be. The bolt shoulder will only seat against the balancer, not the crank. Be sure to put some RTV on the bolt shoulder so oil doesn't leak out past those keyway slots.

What he said. I assume overdrive for a supercharger, but I hope you plan to pin the crank to keep things in place?

On the jeggs info, they said that if i dont use keyway, i need to put some sealent for fill it
I use only one of the two keyway (the small one), so i plan to fill the big one

Yes, overdrive for a v3si
I have a keyway on the forged cranck, the key, and the small keyway of the damper is at the same size, so, i dont need to pin the cranck
