Not Ranked
Balancer - Ring Slippage
Argess,
For the rest of us folks here a little more detail in the failure would be helpful.
Was this a tired 30 or 40 + year old damper or was this some aftermarket relatively new part ? I am tring to understand if its a part quality issue (so others can get a heads up) , or a dry-rotted, aged, shrunken dampening material in the balancer ? In other words do you have an idea as to the root cause ? The reference marking idea is good and will help others monitor the damper if slippage begins to happen. Sorry you had the detonation failure, that just plain sucks.
Bill
