Hai guys
Im new to this forum

A while ago my pully rolled from the table on the stone ground
Bam!
en if got a little dent/piece broke off .

Yesterday if got one from a forum memeber from my country
But that one is damaged more than mine

But he said,al the pullys have something
And i could use the one i paid for

Can i re-use mine or should i fine a good one ?
Is this making unbalance in the cranckshaft ?



Thanx for the help and greetz

 

I have dropped one also before and put a small dent in it. I would think it is safe to use so long as there isnt a huge chunk missing or anything. I would just be very sure it isnt going to cause any damage to the belts.

 

It should be fine. That pulleys job is mainly to absorb vibrations via the rubber inside.

 

Thnx for the help ! Where is the rubber locate in the pully because i thine mine doesnt have a rubber !
Greetz and very thnx

 

Yes it does... look at all the ring with small circle bumps - that is rubber. I would have it balanced personally. At the very minimum you should smooth out any sharp edges.

 

Hey.
Thnx is saw the rubber, i didnt know this.
Thougt the pully was to drive the belts only.

And yes im going to grind the dent to make it smooth so it coulnd shred the beld.

I dont know witch belt drives on that lane but i hope the ac , cus mine is gone.

Greetz and thnx

 

a lot of people run it. and some pulleys break off after a while and people just replace it not knowing why or blame the bolt.
I just seen one with chipped pulley broke the bolt and was all beat up on the inside.

If I have a chipped pulley I just break off an equal amount on the opposite end of the pulley to have equal mass( as close at it would be without actually balancing it)

and then smooth the sharp edges where it contacts the belt so it doesn't cut it up

I would be interested if any shop would be willing to bust or confirm my theory of breaking off the piece of equal size and if it makes difference of not.
since its a harmonic balancer not just to drive belts

 

hi Thnx for your help !

I didnt install the pully yet ,but good idee to also chip the opposite side of the pully .

do you guys now witch belt is driven in the middle ?
