I would also trade in those mastic caps for brass, available from Joe Curto and others. <br><br><br><div class="yahoo-signature"><a style="font-size:12px" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aol-news-email-weather-video/id646100661">Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS</a><br></div><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(132, 115, 255); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Tuesday, December 24, 2024, 4:50 PM, Hank Leach via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="yiv8796545549"><div>Yes, also when too heavy of an oil is added to the chamber and then shoving in the dampener; it can come right thru the plastic cap...use SU or 10W lightweight oil not engine oil or anything else for that matter.

This is caused when the engine has backfired through the carburetors and the piston and damper are driven upwards. This drives the damper rod through the plastic cap. You will never see this with the dampers with brass caps. </div>

<div>I suspect this is what started the issue with your damper before the previous owner made it even worse.</div>
