Crankshaft damper
« on: July 06, 2011, 16:26:06 »
Do most people typically replace the crankshaft damper after 40+ years? Being that it is a rubber sandwich, it would seem that the rubber would degrade like all the other engine compartment rubber.

Thanks!

I haven't had any problems with them. If it looks damaged then I would get another one.
