Anyone on here have any experience with a Milidon gear drive set up and a TCI Rattler balancer? I'm concerned with the screws on the back side of balancer hitting the idler cover on the front cover. Also I got this unit with out the alignment dowels (5/16"). Are the dowels the same size from end to end or different diameter on each end? The dowels should be a slight press fit in the block but not in the cover. Thanks for any input, Brian I'll answer my own question...****(insert 4 letter word here)NO it won't fit/work. The back of the damper hits the seal bore before it goes all the way up. The opening between the snout and the ring had too small of a diameter. I basicly wasted all day on this sum B. Going 170 miles round trip to pick it up, looking for dowel pins, cleaning & checking, only to find out it won't work with my damper. *%>$#!^#* Anyone have any idea WHICH dampers will fit it? Thanks, Brian

When I ran the Milidon gear drive I used(and still do)use the Fluidampr..........no problems then or now.
