<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Harold, I can’t help with the
damper other than to say it is different from the original damper on my BJ8.
However, as for the history of the car and/or its engine, the BJ8 Registry may
be able to help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As of today, the registry
documents the details and ownership history of 55% of total BJ8 production
(9,742 of 17,712 cars built). I have acquired many historical documents with
such data. Tell me the VIN of the car and I’ll tell you if I have any history
for it. Of course, without a serial number there is no identification of the
engine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A member our Healey club has started a restoration of a BJ8
with an unknown history. There wasn’t a serial number or any identify marks on
the engine but the engine was painted blue and has a strange crankshaft damper.
See attached picture. Does anyone recognize this crankshaft damper? Was it an
aftermarket option back in the day? Did it come from a Westminster or ????<o:p></o:p></p>
