Harold, I can=E2=80=99t help with the damper other than to say it is =
different from the original damper on my BJ8.  However, as for the =
history of the car and/or its engine, the BJ8 Registry may be able to =
help.

As of today, the registry documents the details and ownership history of =
55% of total BJ8 production (9,742 of 17,712 cars built).  I have =
acquired many historical documents with such data.  Tell me the VIN of =
the car and I=E2=80=99ll tell you if I have any history for it.  Of =
course, without a serial number there is no identification of the =
engine.

A member our Healey club has started a restoration of a BJ8 with an =
unknown history. There wasn=E2=80=99t a serial number or any identify =
marks on the engine but the engine was painted blue and has a strange =
crankshaft damper. See attached picture. Does anyone recognize this =
crankshaft damper? Was it an aftermarket option back in the day? Did it =
come from a Westminster or ????
