I just bought a 90 civic sedan w/b20 and lowered it but the crank pulley is hitting the tie rod. Any advice what if i change to a ctr pulley would it clear anybody else ever have this problem. Any help thanks

 

You mean the radius rod? The tie rod is nowhere near the crank pulley. Regardless, one thing that might work would be to shim the crossmember down a little.

 

What about runnin another crossmember setup or curved radius rods.

The problem (although maybe not worth worrying about) is that the CTR pulley does not have a harmonic balancer. It could lead to early bearing wear.

It wouldn't be that hard to fabricate "bent" radius rods and I'm thinking of making up some for a friend that has a similar problem.

I'd prefer to just have a fabrication shop make them up and sell them, and that leads to the question I've got.

How much would you be willing to pay for a pair??

Here is a link i found were someone did

Is there also a way to get it Harmonicly balenced?

I will try to get up pics but the pulley carved through half of the rod already.

 

im having the same problem and i shimmed the cm down 1/2 inch or so still going to find another way around it though
