crank pulley issues
What's up fellow SVXers?
I recently posted about having the serious electrical issues. Well, I've changed the alternator and all is well with the charging system, but I still need to find and kill my remaining electrical gremlins. Anyway, my lack of cruise, blinkers, and power door locks is no longer my concern. I've been driving my Jetta which doesn't compare to driving the SVX so even with the electrical issues I've felt the need to still drive my SVX occasionally. I took it to work last night and was at a stoplight when I heard a fairly nasty vibration coming from the engine. When I stopped to take a look I found the noise to be coming from the front of the engine and it would appear that my crank pulley is wobbling. Is this the case? I've already searched on the topic and found very little so please don't flame me. If this is the issue I have no reservations about changing it. My question is if anyone has heard anything about the Motorsport crank pulley. I figure if I'm gonna change it why not put on a lighter one and see if I can cut down on parasitic losses. Also, what's the easiest way to get the crank pulley off? I found in one of the posts that someone used a strap wrench and a breaker bar. Any other tricks I should know? Thanks in advance. Cheers, -Dave |
