Default Crank pulley went bad, help

i have a b18b1 in my 93 civic dx, i was driving down the round when a loud *** bang went off. popped the hood to find part of my crank pulley almost off. i belive its like a rubber sleeve that was attatched to the metal, i dont know.
all i know is i pryed it back on to get me home and the part is woobleing bad!
the crank pulley its self is fine, is just the middle section some how broke loose, what do i do? any advice or tips would be nice

Given the RPM, I do not think there is a good temporary fix. Replace it with a used one. Here are some used options:

About 150 miles south of you is a great junkyard:
http://www.upullandpay.com/Locations...do/Search.aspx . Its online inventory list says it currently has seven Acura Integras that, when new, should have had b18b1 pulleys. Though there may be other models whose pulley works. Call them and maybe they will ship a pulley to you.

A few years ago I bought a pulley from the internet using olstons.com. I paid $40 total for the part and shipping. Olston's now has a part search engine.

Also try www.car-part.com.

Remember that the pulley is also known as the "harmonic balancer."
