Bob, just got back from inspecting mine and while there, installed my pulley saver kit on the roadster. Mine appears to be doing just fine. No evidence of anything failing at this point. I hope you are correct. I haven't heard back from Rudy on this matter and that is fine. What I have discovered and this applies to all crossfires. My factory original crank pulley is showing signs of failure. She isn't turning true. It's never been off the car. I have a call in to Rob to send me a new one. I am going to replace it. Once I have it off, I will report back what the problem was....thanks again for those doing the investigative work.
