When I rebuilt my two engines, I cleaned them, painted with gray primer, then I dipped those damper plates in gear oil. Then let them drip off. These things have springs and they move around the shaft a little. I have Palmer 392 IH engines and was not sure I could ever replace them, but I found by looking at google images, a detroit diesel uses the same damper plate. Mine were in good condition even as old as they are from 1970. They were greasy which likely helped them survive.
