aftermarket lightweight pully?

[baracuda]

im running a full UR underdrive(light weight)pully kit, and have been running it for over a year now and not a single issue, no rubbing issues or any of that. and the website says you can gain up to 12hp....but of course we all know how companies advertise. the weight diffrence is HUGE. i was amazed when i got the set and picked up the parts and compared them to the stock stuff.
U.R. is a good brand, i would go with them.

to keep that crank bolt from backing out, could you not use some kind of thread lock?

he won't get the ebay pulley...so no worries, also is not ebay, its UR, also been on my car for over a year and no problems yet.

the key slightly dug into the side where key slides in, nothing major, and when putting the pulley back on its wobbly so i dont really trust putting it back on, crank is fine.

i put a UR crank pully on my a6 when i rebuilt it and the pully rubbed like crazy and ate a hole in my brand new lower timing cover.. I took the pully off and the back of it looks like a brake rotor does after the pads wear to bare metal..it was pretty rugged. I also noticed it wobbled like crazy when i had it installed even after i torqued and re-torqued it.. just my 2 cent

and how did you verify the integrity of your crank?

i bought another stock pulley and it fits snug on the crank, i started my h22 swap so i wont be turning the f22 over for a while if i decide to keep it, but i will take a look inside the f22 to make sure it looks ok. i still want to replace gaskets and stuff once i take it out.

Some people have reported oil pump failure due to a lightweight crank pulley. I've had one on my H22 for about 7 years now with no problems (and lots of driving).

DO NOT get a cheap pulley, though. Unorthodox Racing is the only brand I would ever trust. If you get a cheap "ebay" pulley, it may not be properly balanced, which would very likely lead to engine damage.

I've heard about the bearings getting worn out because of a light weight crank pulley. Now is that true? I also have a H22 UR pulley.


I've seen timing covers get torn up with the stock crank pulley also.
