2nd LET 185mm pulley exploded in traffic at 25MPH
I am working with Needswings to get all the parts to go to a 65mm S/C pulley. Second pulley failed internally after about 10,000 miles and in traffic, NO WATER PUMP TO GET HOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Heard a funny dragging sound and pulled over to be greeted by the pile of aluminum splinters and a fan belt thrown off. NOW how do I get to home 7 miles away ???????????
Being a standard american boy xx 71 YO xx, I went to McDonalds, bought a large coke and got about 30 cups of ICE in 30Oz. It took manysteps to pack motor with ice and fill overflow tank. FInally set off again, and coasted at each opportunity and stopped at a gas station to add more ice and water, putt putt Iam home pulling off the pulley. Going with a stock crank and 65mm as best choice thanks to ROB's suggestions.
So the last time I had to straighten the crank as it got bent on the end, this time Iam hoping that its not like that, last failure was at 6000 grabbing gears.
Hope it gets you watching your pulley, be aware. I mean 5 snapped bolts - there is torsional stress within that thing that a harmonic balancer should not have.....
Enjoy your weekend, fall is here, W
