When I put a new preformance crank pulley on my 2001 Civic EX I am scared that I will mess the engine timing up if the crank or cam gear move while installing it.

I supose the best way to take the stock crank pulley off would be hitting it with an impact gun. And then I am not sure if I can use the stock power steering belt or the stock timing belt. Is there enough adjustment on the stock timing belt tensioner and the power steering tensioner the acomidate this smaller preformance crank pulley?

any advise would be greatly apeaciated thanks.....

the crank pulley should go on only one way use the key way and line it all up

 

Get a helms manual before you do anything else. Actually you might want to search about performance crank pulley's before you do anything else.

 

use stock timing belt u dont even have to bother with it. Try to use stock belts and adjust the accessories. If the belts still have too much slack go get shorter belts from autozone.

 

Do your self a favor and return the crank pulley as it is probably not harmonicly balanced & will destroy your bottom end over time.
