Fluidampr FAQ: 

FAQ SECTION: This will be updated as time goes on
Q: What does the Fluidampr unit weigh in comparison to the stock unit?
A: The Fluidampr unit is 15.6 lbs. and I just weighed my stock unit, it is also 15.6lbs however, with any viscous type damper there is a rotating weight factor as during engine operation our internal inertia ring stays suspended in the silicone fluid thus relieving the crankshaft of this weight. Rotating weight for this unit is 10.4 lbs.

Also, it is important to note: when dealing with a harmonic damper (balancer) you must have the proper amount of inertia mass (weight) in order to control dangerous torsional vibrations. General rule of thumb (there is a limit) a heavier damper will do a better job at absorbing crankshaft twist thus reducing the amount of vibration being put back into critical engine components. Time and time again we have done h.p./torque comparisons vs. lighter OEM dampers and put down higher h.p./torque numbers on the dyno as well as overall torsional improvements.

Q:What is the correct bolt torque?

A: 40NM (29.5ft/lbs) + 120 degrees; these are torque to yield bolts.

Belt Routing

Q:How do I use the belt tool?

A:

Q:Where do I insert the crankshaft lock tool?

A:Driver’s side of the engine block, above the oil pan, under the crankshaft sensor. There may be a grey rubber plug you need to remove. Press the tool in the hole, while turning the crankshaft, the tool will find a hole in the flexplate and keep it locked.

DO NOT forget to remove the tool before starting the engine!
