My dampener I'm pretty sure is from 1991 so I need to have it replaced a maintenance item.
I'm considering the ATI dampener vs OEM Dampener plus CRF shield.
The ATI dampener theoretically has some performance benefits and is serviceable.
Replacing the OEM dampener every 9 years doesn't seem so bad either.
I don't know much about press fit but my main concern is the press fit and what wear and tear it will place on the crank being pulled off and put back on with each timing belt change.
I know this is not a super common event but as parts get harder and harder to replace but potentially damaging the crank would negate any performance benefit to me.
