    Dorman / Omix dampers don't fit

    My engine needs a new Vibration damper / Harmonic damper for my AMC 360.
    In total I bought already three new dampers, they all have play at the crankshaft. The dampers should have had a more tight bore by 0.02 inch. It should be a press-fit. The fact now is that you can press the damper by hand on the crankshaft. The width of the crankshaft is 1.361 - 1.362 inch. The old damper is 1.360
    I found two others users of Dorman dampers, they bought three dampers. All three had the same problem with Dorman. I have one Dorman and two times Omix. It seems they both used the same factory in China.

    Anybody have a good solution. Or know a brand or manufacturer who can measure the damper they sell with professional equipment ?

    Regards, Marco ( the Netherlands )

    I'm not sure if they would ship to the Netherlands, or if the cost would be worth it, but Damper Doctor will rebuild your OE damper.
