Hey all, thinking about binning my lightweight alloy crankshaft pulley for the stock iron harmonically balanced pulley as my new builds got a crank seal leak and I'm thinking this might have somethin to do with it???
Is anybody running an alloy one without any probs? Got it from Fensport so I thought it would be the business but can't decide whether to revert back to OEM tommorow while I have it off. Any experience or thoughts on them would be muchly appreciated : ) Thanks Chris |

I'd say no due to lw pulley is not balanced...I've seen bad cases and seals gone out due to it..but 10 years ago I ran one on a GTI no problems after 30k...
