Hey guys, My front half pulley flogged itself out. No idea what would have caused it. Any ideas? Also, look at my crank. Its got a bit of damage. Im guessing ill need another one.... Whatchas think? Notice the plastic fan has been destroyed: Heres the half pulley: Heres the crank:
wait so you grinded off all the plastic bit off the pully? just take varoitor off ave cleans up it it be fine, twist the crank to sees if its bent though
probably the pulley sitting against the belt when tightend, the fan will rub in this case (im having trouble getting a new type pulley and fan to sit nice in my old shape case :msn1: arc: ) aslong as the pulley sits true and you have an adiquate tool to retighten the nut (impact wrench) there is no need for teeth on the pulley, the stock move like FUCK on even a new crank dw. just try put it all together (with the belt as low down on the clutch as it go's and pulled RIGHT over the variator) and see if anythings running untrue
Thanks for the input guys. The belt was definately high on the front pulley when i tightened it. Maybe the nut came loose. I used PTFE tape to keep the nut firm. when i pulled the cover off, the nut was loose, but that may have been caused by the pulley spinning. The fan got destroyed when the pulley started spinning. So minor, you would just bolt it all back together (tight) and see what happens? All the teeth on the pulley have been worn off, and the teeth on the crank have been damaged slightly.
no, id put it all back together and see if it all turns true first (slowly) then reassemble with ptfe and thrreadlock. then staert it up and at idle look through the oil pump inspection window (where the gromit go's) and again check tis running true, if theres ANY iratic movment you will need to replace the front pulley at least, mabey the crank.
ok cool. ill give it a go. so the pressure from the nut done up super tight will be enough to stop it spinning? what are the teeth for then? im almost looking for an excuse to pull it all apart again and do some porting.
