at first I thought you are doing something w/out knowing it's penalty, but then I realized you know the what you are doing. Are you looking to rebuild the engine soon?

anyone with fluldampr on stock motore please share...

put it on, it can only help

ask yourself this: what is cheaper? a fluidampr or an engine rebuild cause you spun a bearing?

im not saying that you will spin a bearing w/o the damper

Haha I forgot about this...

But yes Fugiwara it works fine.

That being said it will not help you if your entire rotating assembly is not balanced.

When I built the motor I had the flywheel, crank and dampener balanced as a unit. This in turn saves the rotating group from the inherent vibration caused by Engine harmonics. Net result is engine bearings lasting longer on by build.
