John -
Screw it in just until you feel it hit the rack linkage inside the IP.
Understand that if it is screwed in too far the engine may not start. Go
ahead and start the engine and screw the damper bolt in very slowly until
the engine just settles down. do not turn it in any more than is necessary,
in this case a little more is NOT better. Play with it a bit if you want to
get the best setting then tighten the jam nut to lock it in place. Make sure
the adjustment doesn't move as you tighten the nut. By the way John, AFAIK
the rack damper only comes into play at idle speed. If you are getting
abnormal vibration other than that you may want to inspect your engine
mounts. When I changed mine the difference was truly amazing. If memory
serves me I seem to remember an O-ring sealing the threads behind the jam
nut. If that is so, be sure to lube it a bit so it doesn't get pinched.
