Default Engine Torque Damper adjustment

Just installed the Silk Road ETD (Thanks Kyle). How a quick question on how to set it as all the instruction is in Japnanese.

The smaller outer nut is a lock nut for the length adjustmebt ...got that. But what is that bigger (inner) lock nut is for? Do I tighten that as well?
is there a light/heavy damping adjustment or is it just one setting? Thanks guys.

The bigger one on the left is also a lock nut.

The way I set mine up was by making both the outer and the inner adjustments even in how many threads they're locked in to distribute the load evenly.

Thanks Orjinal...but what do you mean by "inner and outer adjustment" ?

I found the Ingall instruction @ link above. I am guessing it's the same thing for Silk Road ETD.... Finger crossed.. LOL

Most dampeners are all the same in regards to the "piston" arm. Ingalls will work just fine for instructions

Sweet dude! We need more pics of it for science. Literally never saw pics of a silk road damper installed.

Here is a zoom out of it a bit. Also the aftermarket shield doesnt quite fot as good as the stock one...notice it doesnt quite line up on the last tab (the other three are fine). I also had to cut/grind down the bottom part about 1/2" so it won't run on the electrical loom at the bottom. May be bc this was made for jdm market and there isn't that wire there?

I may try to cut a hole in the stock shield and use that instead. Any tip on how to cut a pass through hole in the stock shield (like a template or something)..
