ATI Damper - 7.074in - Alum - 1987 Buick Grand National Turbo V6 -int Bal - 3 Ring

This is the ATI 7.074-inch aluminum crankshaft damper specifically made for the 1987 Buick Grand National Turbo V6. If you're working on the engine of this iconic muscle car, especially if you're rebuilding the front end or looking to ensure the longevity of your crankshaft, a well-built damper like this is crucial. It's designed to absorb torsional vibrations that travel down the crankshaft, preventing stress and potential damage over time, particularly important in a turbocharged application like yours.

ATI has a solid reputation for making robust engine components, and this damper is no exception. It's constructed from aluminum, which helps keep overall engine weight down, and features a 3-ring design. This setup is intended for internal balance applications, meaning it's designed to work with your engine's specific balancing requirements without needing external counterweights. The internal balance design is key for smooth operation and reduced stress on the crankshaft and main bearings, especially when you're pushing the limits of a turbo V6.

When installing this damper, it's important to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting. This part is designed as a direct fit for the 1987 Grand National, meaning it should bolt up without modification. Having a reliable damper is essential for maintaining engine health and performance, particularly in high-stress environments like those found in a turbocharged engine. This ATI damper is a well-made component that addresses the specific needs of your Buick's V6 engine.
