I agree 100% with this.
I had a customer bring me a Fluiddampner about 5 years ago one fall.
By the time I was ready to build his engine the "fluid" or goo had leaked out of the dampner and in to the cardboard box it was sitting in.
I run ATI on all hi-dollar engines or the SFI approved Pro Products dampner on the low dollar builds.
Before any talks about the Pro Products being made in China I know but we are getting good main bearing life out of the I.M.C.A. mod engines.
I.M.O.,the Pro Products SFI approved is good enough for about 50% of all the street engines I build.
