First of all, I searched for this topic but could not find a good enough answer.

I just want to know that if I only replace the alternator pulley and the power steering pulley, I WILL NOT HAVE TO GET MY CRANK BALANCED.

However, if i also replace the crank pulley then i will have to get the crank balanced. Right?????????

Is there anything else i should know about pulleys before i go pick them up tomorrow.

Thnx

 

What kind of top fuel civic is this for?

You shouldn't need to get the crank balanced for either of those. At least I've never heard of anybody balancing the crank because of that.

 

I have never heard of this either.

Dont replace your crank pulley.

 

No balancing is needed when replacing these parts...

 

Be sure to stock up on Blinker fluid (about 1 quart) and some Muffler Bearings (12mm ones, about 12 of them) when you go to get your crank balanced....

BUT SERIOUSLY, you don't need to balance your crankshaft when you put different pulleys on.

he only needs to balance his crank if his exaust samples test bad


lol just kidding

 

I put a b20 crank pulley on my gsr motor to get more boost with my supercharger. The b20 pulley is much larger than the stock b18 and it worked just fine. No funny vibrations or any other problem were noticed, just a lot more fun for me with more boost.

 

If you're worried about crank harmonics, ante up and get a Fluidampr pulley. While they're pricey, it'd probably be cheaper than pulling your crank and having it balanced.

Kruzen510's idea would be cheaper than both, just find a compatible OEM pulley with a smaller diameter (or larger if you're boosted like Kruzen510).
