Just something I thought all you JDM ****** might like:

no kidding..

 

well it looks like it makes more sense than having an "engine torque damper" on just one side.

 

Isn't it called a Dampner?

 

haha, damn, thats sweet.

i like how people spell things from vernacular
Yes, i do believe it is called a dampener

 

How about a set of Buddy Club... Dampner or Damper? Same thing right, they are basically the same thing.


Is it Dampner or Dampener .... I don't think the last E belongs.

 

I think all engine dampeners do the same thing. And um, FYI, dictionary does a body good.

 

Correct you are. Dampener it is.

 

holly sh*t!!!!

 

Nice, but I prefer my car to feel like a giant vibrator. Women love it.

"Oh Len, your car is so...Ugh...ooohhh...Oh Yeah baby!"

 

Psshh. My "engine torque dampener" was factory

(upper right corner)

 

..doesnt this make you wanna go buy a shock for a off road go kart and slap it on your motor...!?!

First, Geratol is right, it's a damper. Well, unless it spews oil all over, then it can be a dampener. Dictionaries are your friend.

Second. I dunno if I'd want to put something like that on the valve cover/topend. I wonder what the longer term effects would be on the headgasket. I know it's not a solid mount, but still...

I'd also be worried about those bolts on the valve cover. It doesn't take more than a few ft-lbs of torque to shear them, so I can imagine excessive engine movement easily shearing all three of them.
