Now the real question is would you buy it or are you just poking and prodding for reaction.
I don't think anyone is out of line for questioning the source, especially given the debacle on MB-World with the "ASP" crank pulleys that have been rounding off crankshafts... I could bore us all to tears with links of multiple pulley failures in the last few months...
Not that the mysterious immaculate conception of the 62mm pulley is at all related, we're just wondering. I spoke to Steve at length regarding the 62mm pulley the other day. Both of us are considering it, but the rivet issue behind the clutch is a concern, as is the lack of R&D on the unit. 62mm puts the pulley in the performance/boost range of a 185, which is fairly extreme in the heat/IAT department.
Your defensive response to Steve's question is a bit... suspect. I mean, if you're affiliated with the 62mm production, simply come out and say it. That would likely even reassure some folks, because we know you know your stuff. For all we know, these are coming from China.
All poking and prodding on this forum results in one of two outcomes -- the purchase of a product, or the abandonment of one.
Respectfully,
