Crankshaft damper
« on: September 05, 2020, 12:36:07 »
Damper alignment keyway is damaged. Is there a replacement or is the damper shot?

CJ,
I believe those are loose pins.

Try replacing the pins with new. Also the BBB gives a procedure on re-working the assembly so you can use the later larger pins if all else fails.
