I purchased a used stock crank pulley that was damaged in the mail. there are multiple chips on it and I'm wondering if this will effect anything in any way. I hear this is balanced and dampered, and could cause lots of damage using aftermarket parts ie.. unorthodox pulley. That is why I am changing it in the first place. I don't want to replace a bad part with another bad part.

2000 base prelude if thats important


Thanks

 

There's nothing wrong with running the UR pulley, but if you want to install the stock one, I'd have it rebalanced first.

 

CTR N1 CRANK PULLEY......

 

I would honestly just stick with oem. Even if your heavily modifing the engine, i still doubt you would even notice a gain from going with lighter pullies. I dunno i just dont think its worth it.

If the crack isnt bad, doesnt interfear with your timing marks or belt, i wouldnt be worried about it.

 

The chips are pretty bad, I would feel safer just buying a new one from honda

Yes, I have read that already, but how can you trust a company that is talking about their own product? If it was a third party that did some testing or something I would buy it. This is more for my piece of mind, why risk it with all the controversy behind it? I hear a lot of people say its okay to put the chipped one on also, but I hear people saying the opposite too. I'd rather go with a new one than put a damaged part on. Whats the point of replacing an iffy part with another iffy part?

Thanks

Yes....because the seller of the product always posts unbiased opinions on that matter at hand.

WRONG. That page is so full of BS I can e-smell it. Do your own research

To the OP, like I said in the other thread: The chips on the outside of the pulley do not effect the balancing of the bottom end, as Honda engines are internally balanced. Furthermore, the harmonic dampener (rubber ring) on the OEM pulley isolates the harmonics in the crankshaft's system from the outer part of the crank pulley.

The only way I would worry about a chip out there is if it was either detrimental to the pulley/belt system or was so massive that the vibrations caused by it were large enough to visually "wobble" due to overcoming the rigidity of the rubber ring.

What I would do here: Replace the pulley with a new OEM unit.
