Hey all, thinking about binning my lightweight alloy crankshaft pulley for the stock iron harmonically balanced pulley as my new builds got a crank seal leak and I'm thinking this might have somethin to do with it???
Is anybody running an alloy one without any probs? Got it from Fensport so I thought it would be the business but can't decide whether to revert back to OEM tommorow while I have it off. Any experience or thoughts on them would be muchly appreciated : ) Thanks Chris |

there is also a good post in the GT4OC called "Why you should NEVER fit an Lightweight Alloy Crank Pulley"
Documented with lots of after effects including pictures of internal damage. http://www.gt4oc.net/forums/viewtopic.php?...amp;hilit=pully |
