The bolt and threads are not completely sealed, although it doesn't feel like it, there is space between them. That's why you put sealer on the head bolts of a small-block Chevy, so the coolant doesn't come up through the threads. The WD will just evaporate with the heat.

Tried that with no luck after it wouldn't go in the first time, I will try again.

Only the edge of the heim joint touches the block. If it does rust up, a gently love tap with a rubber mallet will loosen it up right away. No need to worry about anything seizing up.

Very easy to do yourself.
And right you are Partsman - I did not check what year his car was.
Thanks.

I thought I'd share with you guys what I just shared with Shoe. It's an excerpt from a pm I sent to him on the damper. I hope I am not breaking any rules. This was after about a month of use.
As far as how I feel about it? I think it has been the best $ (I forgot how much plus shipping) I've spent. The change in the response of the car was immidiate. Throttle response was improved dramasticly or at least it felt like it. The engine felt solidly connected to the rest of the car. It feels alot smoother at take off and into the whole rev range. It just makes the car feel solid. There is less jerking when releasing the throttle when at high RPM's for a shift. As far as more pronounced feel of engine movement through the steering column and the rest of the car that everyone else seems to feel, I actaully feel less. It made me wonder if I may have had a bad engine mount, but I've looked and I don't.
The damper has made a great improvement to the general feel of the car.

OK, so I read through this entire thread, and am impressed by all the reviews from "S" owners. But unless I missed something, I haven't seen anything from Cooper owners. I'm thinking of putting this on my Xmas list, but want to know how much of a difference this will make on an MC. Any impressions from Cooper owners?
