Our 1 pcs crank pulley (feedback please)

[Motorsport-SVX]

Hey guys, has anyone out there who has bought
our 1 pcs OE size aluminum crank pulley, noticed
anything wrong with the quaility, material or workmanship
of it in the last 2 yrs ?
Im pretty sure everyones happy with them but just
looking for some feedback.
In the 2+ yrs we have been selling them, I got this one
customer today who straight out called it a pos continued to
rip its quaility etc.
Just wondering

both are good and better then OE, esp when the OE
falls apart into 2 pcs's.
I like the stock size for the most part.
My question was originally though for anyone who has
already bought one from us, ..and just trying to get
some feedback.
I think if anyone else was unhappy by now, I would of heard
and its been quite (insert crickets chirping here)

Eh I don't have the stock diameter, I have the lightened with slight underdrive, and so far I it is lasting longer than the one I bought off Ebay. ( )

My notes say I installed it 5.14.04, so yeah I'd say it's good.

If you have to drive in traffic, get the factory size. I wish I did. My voltage reads lower than I like it to when I'm sitting at a light for 3 turns.

Tom installed one of your crank pulleys for me -- he said it was a little tight going on. I would ask him what he thinks. I bought it because Tom was doing a timing belt and some other stuff and thought it was a good idea to get the one-piece crank pulley upgrade. The price and shipping was a bit steep and I almost didn't do it. I'm not qualified to state whether it's perfect. I think it's good. I have driven about 400 miles with it over the last 3 weeks.

There was only 1 bad thing I noticed about it... That is that is extremely tight on the crank... I actually had to take some emery to the inner bore for it to go onto the crank

I have the underdrive one and it has been fine except for a couple minor things. 1. In really cold weather it contracts enough to cause belt slippage when you first start the car. Once the car has been running for 10minutes it's 100% fine This is fixed by the simple fact that I no longer drive either SVX from the end of Oct to April.
2. the replacement smaller pulley that you sent as a favor to put on my alternator to offset the voltage drops did not work at all, but I can't complain because you just threw that in there as a favor.

As far as performance goes: I haven't really noticed anything super special, but hey, it's just a crank pulley. If anything has changed it is that the car is slightly more quick to rev.

No known troubles here. My mechanic installed it (2+ years ago?) without comment or complaint. I do recall a very slight nick in the peak of one of the "fins" which was obvlously a handling ding, not a manufacturing problem.

i have a lightened one piece pulley from you dayle.
no complaints -yet
i mean...i havent' really noticed anything wrong with it in any ways.
i have no regrets buying it

what was the guys SPECIFICS about it.?
if he's just complaining. dont worry about it - i dont mean **** then
if he has specifics, that might be a different story.

I bought one and installed it myself without issue when the car was new to me with 92K on the clock 2.5 years ago. I now have 140K on the clock and have had zero issues with the pulley. Consider me a reference!

Dayle, maybe you should offer hard anodizing as an option. I for one would have splurged for that. Thanks for the good parts and the great service.

You can't please all of the people all of the time, so maybe just write this complainer off as an axception rather than the rule.

I've got one of yours on each svx (stock size, lightweight) and had no problems with fit or finish on either one. Both have been performing well with no wobble. I'd have to look back but I think it's been at least 4 years if not more on my daily driven svx.

[Suby Fan]

my stock size one that you installed before i bought the car is doing fine

[Earthworm]

Just saw this thread.

Mine has been fine but the one on our parts car was wobbling probably due to being undertightened.
