Your wasting your time trying to reason with him. He likes to argue and I think in his mind he is never wrong. Over the last four years on the Barn I have learned to ignore a number of members comments.

At my age it is not worth the time or energy.

Enjoy.

Well I don't know about that as I definitely listened to your advice on different topics when you were here visiting. Never too old to learn from those who share similar experiences on a, -or the subject!! As to our dialog here now, it definitely seems we are hi-jacking this person's thread, so we should probably get back to providing on-topic interaction!!

Well I definitely hate you feel this way. I guess I am guilty of that in some ways although that is never my intent.

I am not comfortable with pushing an old engine even if it is rebuilt. I have a stock 1930 engine, 5.5 head, 3.78 rear end, Borg/Warner T5 transmission, tachometer, and a spot-on speedometer/odometer. At 55 MPH in 5th gear the car rides very comfortably at 2200 RPM. I have found (4 years with this engine) the RPM comfort range in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears is 1800-2200 RPM. A few times I've had it over 2600 RPM and to me it sounds like it is starting to scream. Treat the engine like a kind old lady!

I agree, 2,000 - 2200 is ideal for cruising.

Holy smokes !!! Sorry if I opened a can of worms. I think in the second post Syncro answered my question.

Probably 50% of the questions on this board are answered correctly within the first three replies, following by 20 posts of kibitzing.

So how long would one of these "dynamic dampener." last?

[nkaminar]

The BHJ Dynamics white paper, see link in earlier post, says "Properly designed, it is effective, reliable, and long-lived." The life depends on whether you are constantly at the resonate frequency, about 2,600 rpm in a Model A engine. The dampener should last at least 100,000 miles in normal use, but this is just a guess. The manufactures of OEM dampeners do an endurance test that simulates 100,000 miles.
