Yes the timing cover is on and so is the water pump housing. I never thought about what stops the dampner from bottoming out on the crank, now I know! Guess I got to get the dampner puller out, take off the water pump housing and timing cover, and put the gear on...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
