AckNasty Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wow! Don't drive it. The underdrive crank pulleys are bad b/c they dont have a harmonic balancer built in. It reduces harmful vibrations in crank. I'd put the stock pulley back on and make sure the bolt is tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 that pully is for accessorys dude , not needed to run an engine. your gonna need a new keyway sounds like as well , the little keyway that goes between the pully and the crank in the little groove. your gonna need one.

cranny Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 its also a balancing tool for your crankshaft as its turning. thus the name harmonic balancer. older cars , or domestic V8's for the most part anyways , have a harmonic balancer , than the main pully bolted to that. well in your car , they are 2 in 1. see what happens when you bolt it back on , than post results , all you can do my man. i really cant see it hurting the engine. i hope your bolt just came out and didnt break off inside as well , lol , thats a crap ass job to do , even with a good easy out.

cranny Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 hmmm. get it to fit as best as possible dude. i mean the bolt will hold it tight , but make sure its sitting where it has to be before its tightened. weld the keyway to the crank if you have to.
