$$$$$$$    Several years ago when my stock damper died in the manner you 
have described many times, I contacted the Damper Dudes in California.  They 
told me that while they could rebuild a stock Ford 351C damper, they did not 
recommend it be used in a high performance and high rpm application.   They 
did not recommend use over 5000 rpm, ( i.e. don't use it in a Pantera, but 
go ahead and use it in a full size Ford with an automatic transmission.)   I 
bought a new harmonic balancer.........


                              Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
