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 |

Guys can't thank you all enough for the info and help. Just bought a OEM one off fleabay. Running solid engine mounts with forged internals and tap happy hks cams and think the vibrations just too much for the crank without the harmonic balancer. Fingers crossed this should help with the crankseal oil leak. Given up tryin to get the crank gear off (just slid on when I built the engine?!?) So kinda half arsed it and tigersealed up the outside of the seal and reverted back to the stock balancer. Loving the 6g forum btw. You guys all RULE. Thanks again : )
