I installed a crank dampener rebuilt by damperdudes on my BJ7 following the great advice from the BCF about heating to 275 degrees, adding little light oil on the crank and tapping it on. It did go on nicely. Yes, I wacked it a couple of times for the final seat.
I don't believe it's right though. It looks like it should go another 3/16" to 1/8" or so. For one thing the pulleys don't line up.
In the pic labeled "dampener all the way home" it looks like it should go on farther. Should the dampener be flush with the shaft shoulder in that pic?
In the pic "threads left on dog nut" it looks like the nut could go on further. Should it?
I measured the crank snout from the end to the oil slinger 1 1/8" and compared that to the depth of the dampener 1 5/16". The dampener is pressed on to the slinger. The timing gears line up perfectly. I must be missing something.
In the pic "dog nut lock washer" the lock washer is shown. It's not the same as the tab washer that came off. The washer came from AHspares. Here's a pic from the AH Spares web site. Is it just a different style lock washer?

Lastly, my bently manual doesn't show a torque spec for a dog nut. Does anyone have that?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
