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 |

Feel a bit sick... My forged fresh built engines knocked since about 500 miles into the break in. Put it down to the solid engine mounts Think i know why all of a sudden! I used ACL race series bearings throughout, would this help save the bottom end or would you guys think its game over? When i say knock, it s a gentle one at tickover, oils been changed every 100 miles or so and i also slick 50'd it after break in. Its never been above 4k since i built her (still mapping her). I'm also running high lift cams so its been harder to notice as they are more "tap happy". Gonna fit the OEM pulley this week n hopefully it should improve... Think I need a beer : $
