You are right on with making my point, every product has to be properly tested in the real world before it's released. Maybe ASP rushed their pulley to market way back then, and the same was done now.
Actually cruzin it still happens today. The design of the factory crank pulley has an inlaid rubber dampener to isolate vibration. Over time from heating and cooling cycles plus aging from the enviornment, they decay and fall out. Take a look at your factory pulley on the backside. For a car that was originally close to 50 grand the design is not a marvel in the engineering department. The LET pulley's I believe are superior as crank pulley's go, but they did miss the boat on the water pump pulley. Being they did strengthen the water pump pulley after 2 or 3 failures, I would take the LET design over Renntech or ASP. Understand this is my opinion that's all
