Where is the crankshaft damper?
Where is the crankshaft damper? The damper will be fitted at the front of the engine (opposite the clutch or transmission) just beyond the cover of the timing chain, gears, or belt, and behind the accessory drive pulley (which may carry one or more V, serpentine, or cogged belts.) What does a harmonic damper do to a crankshaft? Yes, the Crank Pulley with Damper is often called "Harmonic Balancer", but it doesn't really do any balancing (like adjusting wheel weights). It does damp out some harmonic vibration in the crankshaft, but not the kind of vibration you could ever feel....
