highly Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 OK, so where the heck do you get a harmonic damper/balancer installation tool with an M16x1.5 threaded adapter? I waited 2 weeks to get my Comp Cams installer in (mail order) and it included TWO M16x2.0 adapters, but no M16x1.5. Spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Comp Cams and they had no idea what I was talking about. Called every auto parts store in the area and nobody has that thread pitch on an install tool. To rent OR buy. Help? I'm in NW Oklahoma City... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejracer Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 BHJ sells one. I bought it, and it's a very well made tool. It has thread adapters for just about everything you would ever want to install a damper on. when you order it you must tell them you need the adapter and they will make one up for you. http://www.bhjdynamics.com/ http://www.bhjdynamics.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_29&products_id=140 -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I just bought a longer bolt to use as the installer tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highly Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 I guess I'll have a look around at Ace this afternoon for a long M16x1.5. If that fails I'll give BHJ a call. I'm just surprised this has turned into such a fiasco! Thanks for the pointers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejracer Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 The BHJ unit has thrust bearings in it, so it's going to require less force to install and wont booger up the mounting surfaces. It is expensive though. I would not use a bolt by itself to install a damper. I would feel comfortable using a long section of threads to screw it all the way into the snout, and then use a nut to snug it down. It's done this way to prevent damage to the threads of the snout.
