Just to air a pet peeve of mine:

There's no such thing as a "dampner". It's also improper to say "dampener".

So that thing on the engine is a *vibration damper*, not dampener.

When you are adjusting your shocks, you are adjusting the "damping", not the "dampENing"

Know them and use them correctly.

You're one of those guys who get picky about engines vs. motors, aren't you?

 

how about "stall converter" instead of torque converter, "NOS" instead of nitrous, etc. etc.

this list is endless...

Forrest <-- says "motor" instead of engine though

 

Ford Owns Cummins.

 

You're just trying to get everybody riled up, Hoss. Aren't you the one who gets uppity about magazines, clips, and chargers?

 

don't you mean, Ford owns Cummings?

 

Pecan or PEEcan. You can always tell when a person is from the north by how they pronounce that.

 

like in don't spill the peecan in the trailer, slosh that down the drain....

 

 

Ya'll ain't got to talk bad bout us cain't spell.???????

 

My point exactly.

 

Are you talking about the "Harmonic Balancer"??? It is located on the front of the crankshaft and is engineered to balance out the torsional twisting of the crankshaft while running throughout the designed speed range of the motor. The torsionals are referred to as the harmonics of a specific crankshaft and need a "harmonic balancer".

 

Yeah, we say it right!

You need to watch what you say, its a ENGINE not a motor! Motors are electric, fluid-driven or air-driven I had to say that because of the damper/balancer thing.

I really don't care because I know what we are talking about!

And the saga continues......I was wondering when that was going to be pointed out
