The damper was ready to install but
before it goes on, I put some anti-seize compound on the inside of the
mounting surface. If you have ever pressed two pieces of metal together,
you don't want ANY METAL to transfer from one piece to another. If you
don't have anti-seize compound, oil would do which is better than
nothing.

I also put some compound on the end of
the crankshaft, crank-key and chamfer too.

It was time to install the two pieces
together so lets get started. First things first....you NEVER want to use a
hammer to press these two together so keep that in you memory-banks. If
you do, you run the risk of damaging the damper and having it come apart
while the engine is running. I can only guess what might happen when
that happens. Ok...now that the safety lesson is over, let's proceed.
Now the end of the crankshaft has a 7/16-20 thread in it. The tool being
used is another one that I made.

Now this is rocket science so pay attention
because there might be a test later. By using a long 7/16 bolt and some
washers, you have your installation tool at the ready. Step one: First
you put three or four washers on the bolt and start to tighten it down
till you run out of thread. Now unscrew the bolt and add a few more
washers and repeat step one. You keep doing till the end of the damper
hits the crank gear which means the bolt will get tight and your almost
done.

All that's left to do is torque the
bolt down to 70 foot pounds and that's it. If everything went well and
it didn't feel like anything was binding, your done. The tire iron
in the back was used to keep things from turning. I used two bolts in
the end of the crankshaft and put the tire iron between those bolts. I
then rotated the engine around to bind the tire iron against the engine
stand and then torqued the bolt. More rocket science here!!
