Engine Damper - Whose to use?
I've got a SBC going together and will be needing a new damper. Their are lots of choices - TCI, ATI, Fluiddamper, Professional Products, etc, etc, etc. TCI uses little balls, Fluiddamper is a silicone type fluid, ATI is elastomier. Seems to lots of different technologies in addition to brands.
Who is using what and why?

I run ATI, Fluidampner would be my second choice, just bought a engine with a Professional Products and wasn't impressed. Had a rattler and I was always hearing engine noises that weren't there.

We use a lot of the GM elastomer balancers with no problems.
