Re: What crank pulley did I buy?

1. Mystery crank pulley that clanks and measures only 171.5mm.
2. Used crankshaft bolt that may or may not be for an SRT6. Either way it's used.
3. Used water pump pulley that is prone to failing.
4. Idler pulley with a bearing that can't handle the peak RPMs and is likely to fail at some point.
I'm not even sure the pulley is for an SRT6 motor. Either way, I'm not using it.
I should have just taken seven $100 bills and flushed them down the toilet.
Damn.
I bet that Evosport crank pulley is just fine....mail it to me and I'll be glad to check it out for you and mail it back....no charge - I'll even install it on my ride and tell how much boost it makes compared to the 185mm.
Get a new WP pulley - inexpensive enough - EC - ASP - EvS - they will all work...
The crank bolt has had the collar machined down to fit inside the inner hub. Measure to ensure it hasn't been stretched...if you buy a new one - you will have to have it turned down before you can use it.. (I do think that it was used when Erick tested that pulley - but then again, you did pay a used pulley price for the setup - IMHO)
Sh*t can that little idler pulley and keep your OEM idler installed and buy a Gates K081153 belt (around $35)..saves you money on wrap kit...and from damaging your water pump housing....
