"To use any other one of two things need to be done Either cut a 1/4 groove into the timing gear, Or trim a 1/4 inch off the dampener."

I installed an 8 inch SBC damper w/no mods to install it.other than moving all the accessories fwd.
I do not know why you need to cut a 1/4" groove in the timeing gear?
or the other step? Explain please. :-) Thank you.
