Thanks Fowler!
As some of you know i recently swapped out to a gs-r motor (that i bought from Larry Jr.). I was having all sorts of trouble with it from the throttle body/TPS sensor and the ECU (which Larry replaced, car runs great no BTW). I also noticed that there was this bad sound that sounded like a bad bearing coming from my timing belt area. I removed the black plastic cover and guess-timated that it was crank tensioner pulley.
so I called my local acura dealership and found out it was a 'special order' and it
was $68.00
I was telling Fowler what had happened and he said he has a few friends with blown B-series blocks and he would see if he could get me one.
Well he got me one and sent it via FedEx. (I was supposed to receive the package
on 7/11/02 but it just got here last night and swapped it out)
So I'm not sure if this is the original crank tensioner he sent out because since
FedEx lost/lagged on the original package he sent me another one.
Fowler never asked me for money, but I will send him some cash(not through FedEx)
cliff notes: my motor had a bad crank tensioner pulley. Fowler shipped me one without aasking for money, just to help a fellow hybrider out.
THANKS Fowler!

Re: Thanks Fowler! (B_Cruz)
Dude, I found this perfect package. I was so stoked. Took it to the FedEx guy with pride.
He said it was too small, so, I had to put it in a bigger box. Man, that was a good package.
Btw, that's the original one I sent out...weird it took so long

Re: Thanks Fowler! (fowler!)
it was received last night at 7 PM. I asked them how they knew that the shop was still open(the delivery address is at my friends shop) and the delivery guy said he saw the package in the back of his truck and thought he should take the chance to deliver it since the ETA of the package was on the 11th.
