Default Pinned Damper

Has anyone removed and re-installed their damper after having it pinned? Wondering how easy/difficult it was to re-align the pins since they are precisely drilled without removing the damper to start with.

Good question, I pinned mine from the side vs the front method. So I dont think I will have any issues when it comes time to reinstall. Now if pinned from the end of the snout might be differant issue.

Mine is pinned... and I have pulled it off 4 times for cam swaps, no issues at all. Just take your time and make sure of the alignment when you are putting the pulley back on...

Good Luck,
