The pulley (if you look where the screwdriver is pointing) ERODED. It kind of melted. The metal was not strong enough to handle the power so says Danny of Shattered Skull Racing, master grease monkey and engine guru of well repute.


Just for my own knowledge I would like to ask some of the many many extremely smart individuals of this board if this makes sense? If the pulley was tightened down to spec and therefore there was no play, how would the notch not be suffiecient enough? Not trying to start anything here just purely curious. It just doesnt make sense to me. Especially since you didnt check it with a torque wrench.
