I had to freeze the damper and warm the ring but it's on, I still don't know the allen-wrench sizes.

Mine seems a little tizz-ite as well, but I'm sure the hot/cold trick will work. I've just got to figure out the right position for the teeth. Probably obvious when I put the stock pulley in my hand.

It only goes on two ways from the bolt pattern. Then, you want one tooth between noon and 1 o'clock.

Got it! Thanks!

I'm guessing those hex screws are in inches.

You guys are hilarious.

Mine are 7/64". Confirmed on 2 sets of Allen wrenches and pictured 1/4" drive screwdriver bit.

Torque it to 50lbs/ft, right? And loctite that sucker so you can't get the broken bolt out?

Sounds a little under-torqued to me. Also, I'd go JBWeld putty, Loctite is for pussies.

Any driving reviews with this installed yet ? Can you balance a champagne glass on your engine now ?

Side question, since this weighs less than the stock damper will it give a slight lighter flywheel effect, a slightly quicker revving engine, I would assume yes.

I don't think it's lighter. It's a pretty stout piece.
