Danr, I'd just installed a Fluidampr balancer a few weeks ago and now find that the pulley attaching bolts need to be just a little shorter than what I used on the GM balancer. The bolts were bottoming out without holding the pulley as tight as it should be. They were so close that the pulley appeared tight but loosened with time. Three new bolts, a quarter inch shorter, some blue Locktite, new lock washers, and running a tap to clean up the threads, and I should be good to go. The pulley holes were hogged out some but I think it will be fine. Time will tell.
