im replacing the water pumpo and timing belt and this is what my crank pulley looks like. the outer lip for the a/c or p/s pump is all chewed up. i was thinking this could possibly cause balance issues? or am i just being too paranoid?

heres the pics.

 

you already got it off why not.

 

The smallest chip can cause vibrations which are not good.

 

That would be a good idea to replace it since it's chipped.

But remember, it's better to replace it with a stock one. Screw the after market UD pulley.

That's my $0.02.

definitely, im going to the honda dealer tomorrow. too bad the damn things are like 200 bucks grrrrrr

 

go to the junkyard and save yourself some money, just make sure you find one in good shape

 

Search in the Classifieds man.

Gotta be someone out there selling one used in perfect conditon.

Something like this you do not want to buy new, Dealer's will screw you.

I am not sure about the junkyard. The crank pully is very hard to take off.

 

no junk yards around here would have it oh well, i cant go wrong with a brand new one. are they all balanced from the factory?

 

200?? Why not just get a CTR pully for a lot less? I have one and it's great.

Or take yours to a machine shop get those extra ribs milled off and get it balanced. It will be less than 200 and lighter, and have the stock dampener.

 

i kinda have to go to the dealer cause time is an issue, i need to get this thing fixed asap. im leaving for college in a week and with working 40+ hours a week i dont have a lot of time to wait around for packages

 

If you can find a machine shop it should take a day or two, thats it.

Or look up owen the soyboy, he posts in DFH a lot. He had a stock one for sale that was milled, and I believe he does them too.

 

grr the dealer doesnt even carry the pulley

 

just get an unorthedox or honda N1 pully, why not upgrade unless you have PS and AC

 

like i said i dont have time for shipping. i ordered it from acura carland for 165+ 2 day shipping.

They don't have the rubber dampner in them.
