Hello,
My father is restoring a Jaguar MK2 3.4 with automatic gearbox. He has allmost finalised this project. except for one thing:
During a very short test drive the crankshaft damper came off. Actually, the rubber ring which is attached to it came off, which caused the damper to detach.
My father thinks it doesn't harm to drive for a while without the damper.
- What do you people think? and ...
- can the original damper be reinstalled after we found a suitable rubber ring? (it seems the rubber ring was joined rigedly)
- Is this a common defect?
- Are these crankshaft dampers easy to obtain?
- Does a "new" damper need new balancing/calibration?
- Is there trouble to be expected with setting the timing? (It's okay now)
your opinions are most welcome. Questions for more details can also be send. Remove HATES SPAM from my address, when replying via electronic mail.
best regards, Tom
