No Groove on OBX Crank Pulley for Timing??

[supra_89_vang]

I purchase a OBX crank pulley and it doesn't have a groove like the stock crank pulley for aligning the crank and cams. How do I go about fixing this problem? Can I line up the key slot of the two pullies and mark the OBX where the grove should be?

Bring cylinder number 1 up to top dead center and put a notch in yourself =)

Use the OBX as a paper weight and put stock crank pulley back on.
Seriously, The OBX has no harmonic dampening ability.

Well i gota agree with him put stock back on... You need a HARMONIC balancer not a PULLEY

but if you have to use it.. you need to drop screw driver down #1 watch it till it moves up and stops.. the very .000000001 sec it stops mark pully with pencial.. then keep turning in same direction for about 1/4 inch it will be ruffly and as soon as it starts to move again mark pully again... the middle of those to marks will get you to very top dead center as you can with head on. :} imho

^Wooden chopstick is safer

But it's x3 on a paperweight.

Are you guys saying that the OBX crank pulley is no good and it's better to use the stock crank pulley? If so, what is a crank pulley that I can replace the stock one with?

 

[starscream5000]

ATI super dampner.

OBX FLMFL......same with the cam gears....ask me how i know...:3d_frown:

Do yourself a favor and just keep the stocker.

 

[starscream5000]

^I wouldn't even do that. You know how old, hard, and dry-rotted that stock dampner is??

true. but he's already out the money for the OBX....like most of us, im sure he was on a budget

 

[supra_89_vang]

Yes, I am on a budget. My old stock pulley is rusty but I cleaned it. I was planning to use the OBX on my new rebuilt engine from JIS Engines. I don't want to use the OBX pulley if it's going to cause damage in my new rebuilt. Click Hyperlink to see what I purchase.

Paperweight

"Performance Engine Destroyer" is more like it. There's a reason it's so cheap. This is a classic example of getting what you paid for.

Amen to that. I was gonna say "Truer words were never spoken" but I'd be lying.
