[RICK LAKE]

patrickt Pat have 14 years on the FE motor one without any problems except when the motor is in cold weather. The internal weight in the fluid take longer to zero out the vibrations of the motor. It can be real ugly for a minute or 2 until the fluid heats. They are rebuildable. The FE one I have has only BBC bolt pattern for the pulley like others have said. I did the same thing and ob longed the mounting holes to make the crank pulley work. The pulley does center on the dampener. Mark slots on the pulley and with a good deremal tool cut out the slots. Use good bolts and washers to install. I also use a little blue locktite. What you have is the problem with rubber dampeners and higher rpm motors. The rubber looses grip over time. Be happy that it didn't go the other way and take out the belt, hood or coolant system. You can get that dampener rebuilt. I would have to look up the number for this. Rick L.
