Crank pulley

[sp617m]

So was wondering what are the pro and cons on running a solid crank pulley on a 1j. And also i head from some people that you should only run the dampener need as much help as possiple thanks.

Pros:
-Cheap
Cons:
-Eat bearings and cause other damage to internal components costing much more to fix than the cost of a real dampener.

Personally I would stick with the stock crank pully/harmonic balancer. Unless yours has torn into a million pieces or you are making a huge amount of horsepower, the stock one will suffice.

What is considered bad?? Mine is starting to wobble, but its only missing a half an inch of that dampning rubber stuff. Can they be welded?? Is the one Titan sells the exact same size and wieght?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...6ffe9d495&rvr_id=&ua=WXI7&itemid=390039659094

If the rubber is falling apart it's trash, if you weld it it's no better than a solid pulley. The one you linked to is an ATI dampener and is usually a bit lighter than stock but is a true dampener.

if you are looking for a replacement they should be cheap used as they are the same on the GE's... (i even had a few extra but cleaned my parts out)

if you want to save a dollar

the pro's and con's are well documented and you lose all respect if you just get the 'fuck it' mentality and use a solid one anyway =P and the 'we told you so' will follow suite.

i like comparing solid pulleys to asbestos, sure you are ok for now but a bit down the road.. BAM
