[Fot] Short Version: Harmonic Dampener Question

Hi,

I guess I was too wordy (again) with my question so...

If a harmonic dampener works loose (this is TR6, but the concept probably 
carries across the range), is it a given that the crank is toast?

In my case the dampener wiggled enough while loose so that it hammered the 
key for the crank dampener.

Any opinions are welcome.

I'm trying to decide if I buy a fancy dampener whether I'll just wreck 
that by installing it on a crank that is possibly beyond its service life.

Thanks!
