ATI damper fitment

[mk3ukr]

Istalled yesterday my ATI damper, it is very nice product but there was minor fitment issue I want to share. After installation I couldn't turn engine by hand, found that outer edge of damper rests on the timing belt cover. I marked it with black marker on the first picture. Second picture is of the cover after 5 min of grinding, there is enough "meat" there to do it

Damper OD where it interferes with cover is 172.5mm, it is larger than stock. Another solution would be to chamfer ~ 2mm from the damper. I hope I did not stress internals much and did not damage damper when tightened it against the cover

how much is a ati dampner?

 

[spoolint78]

damn, thats kinda shitty.
Isn't this an expensive piece?

I wouldn't expect this out of something so expensive

Call up ATI... they need to get that kind of piece right, especially when they speak of the super high quality work they do.

I e-mailed ATI and enclosed pictures.
Regarding price of the dumper - call ATI, AFAIK it is less expensive then 1 year ago.
Jetjock, you got PM

they did get it right. This is NOT an error. Considering that this piece was done with my input and at MY request and guess what all the other 7m ATI are based on???

Now I realize that without timining marks it would be ~3mm slimmer and not hit the cover

Ian, I didn't know you read Russian:icon_bigg

yes and no

they would need to machine it beveled. To me the minor "issue" is outweught by the 360 degree timing marks.
Only way to degree the cams, yes I degree the cams as I have to get a precise timing for sequential fuel injection.
