    HOW TO: MS3 Engine Torque Damper Install

    i started to hear a similar vibration a couple weeks ago. i took a look and saw that the damper was loose, but not apart. i took it off, checked the bushings and saw that the washer on the shaft had imbedded itself into the bushings, allowing for some play, which i assumed resulted in the...

    HOW TO: MS3 Engine Torque Damper Install

    ever since mine came apart, and i flipped it around the first time, it hasn't come apart and is immovable. if it moves around, it's not serving its purpose. there is a washer on the shaft that goes between the two bushings which hold it in place. no sliding should occur.

    Forge BPV question? Green Blue or Yellow Spring? No red?

    sorry, skimmed through the thread but didn't find a direct answer... would it be safer to go with a too stiff spring than a too soft spring? i don't have a boost gauge of any kind right now, so i can't measure it in anyway. i just want to make sure i'm not damaging anything with having this bpv in.

    HOW TO: MS3 Engine Torque Damper Install

    so i opened my hood to find this torque damper pulled apart. from what i could tell, the internals were vibrated apart and the shaft holding the bushings got unscrewed. so i put it back together with some lock-tite. hopefully it won't happen again.

    HOW TO: MS3 Engine Torque Damper Install

    so i installed it tonight. that sucked. i spent the majority of the time messing around with the engine mount itself, whether it was making sure that the engine was supported sufficiently, getting the nuts off (pretty much stripped the stock nuts), or if it was getting my hands in the crevice to...

    HOW TO: MS3 Engine Torque Damper Install

    appreciate the write-up - been looking for one for this etd. but if anything i'm more glad it generated the response below, as i had NO IDEA wtf the bushings were for: this makes way more sense than putting it on the engine mounts. i can't imagine those plastic "spacers" do much for supporting...
