🔧 Melling BD417-DBRKT: Enhance Engine Performance with Timing Chain Damper Adaptor Bracket Review

That wasn't so easy, you have to put together a good combination of all the screws and make sure it's tight again. Make sure you stay on time and buy the best chain, too much play, even a new one is not enough.

This is a good product but needs MUCH better installation instructions. We bent the adapter plate, misaligned it and had to straighten it out again. Also, you MUST use the included screws. Reusing factory bolts will cause interference in the gears. Have extra M8 screws ready, as tightening the provided screws may deform the heads of the provided screws.

This product is not well made. The first thing they sent was when tightening the bolts according to the manufacturer's instructions, it broke the one didn't even tighten the bolts, it broke, I've been on the road for over 3 weeks waiting for this part so I'll keep going and not get it

In short, the Melling product looks like a copy of the Trickflow product, which looks without cracks. My first melling ripped out the mounting bolt completely before reaching the required torque and cracking the second bolt (visible in Photo 3-4). The Melling replacement part was cracked right out of the box. The first two photos are a comparison of the two brands. The main difference seems to be the through hole in Melling's part. I assume the Stunt Flow product will be stronger.

Works great, instructions aren't the best but they say 15-18 ft lbs for cam stop plate bolts only. NOT TWO SHOCK BOLTS. That all the bad reviews break when you go to 18 feet. I was embarrassed removing the inserts as they appear to be molded in plastic there but not there. It's just a metal insert with a plastic insert inside. both must be removed and the gold long screws are not used. I used an old spark plug inserted into the damper bolt hole and then tapped the damper on the table to remove…
