Is this a harmonic crank damper? If so I'd only use a stock Honda item, or an aftermarket item from a very trusted source. If a cheap one fails that may not be a very good thing...

Well, you don't specifically detail what problem you are having doing this, so it's hard to offer advice. To limit engine movement I would think that harder engine mounts (particularly the rear mount and the bushes on the front brace) would be more effective than some form of damper...

Orient it front to rear (as opposed to side to side). Find somewhere you can bolt both sides to, and voila.

See if you can solve this on your own. It always feels good when you do that and it works.
