OK another fiction or not question

Is it true that you can use a RB damper on a slant? apparently the crank nose an those V8's and the slant is the same

Post subject:  Yes

Yes you can use the B/RB harmonic balancer. of course your on your own for a timing mark...

Also, the pulleys will not line up.

I would try to get a Romac Slant 6 balancer from Oz. Nice unit, not too expensive, and endorsed by Cameron Tilley...

bb dampers work but you have to change the timing cover seal to a bb seal and with the belt groove have one machined into the thick part of the damper and you can use the stock belt locations

Do all slants come with dampers? Mine is a '74 I didn't think it had one but I could be wrong. What is the advantage of adding one if it dosent?

All engines have vibration dampers, including all slant-6s, including your '74. It is integral with the crankshaft pulley.

WHY I asked this question -
1 RB dampers are easy to get over here slanties not
2 I was wondering how to eliminate the dreaded outer ring slip

This said - the romac units are nice

Just wonder which will be best - the steel or ally outer ring

There's no need to eliminate the inner-hub/outer-ring construction. They work fine for decades!

Thanks Dan, sometimes its better to ask the dumb questions than to remain ignorant.

As long as we're talkin dampers,Hows come my 80&83 truck slants have such a BIG weight compared to others I see?Does that have to do with the lighter crank(13-14# less)?If so what happens when swapping older/newer balancers on older/newer cranks?Just another question that keeps me awake at night :? :)

I have a cast crank engine with a standard damper on it.. I suppose it is possible that since yours is a truck engine, that they put maybe a V8 damper on there?

No. Slant-6 engines always and only got slant-6 dampers. V8 engines always and only got V8 dampers.
