HELP! Crank Pulley Quesion....
My 92's original crank pulley split and I ordered and received an aftermarket lighter one piece (not undersized) pulley online...Problem is that its offset is off...will rip timing belt cover and belts not run straight...I found a large metal washer that will work that's about 1/8" thick..but then the pulley's not seated all the way back and the key is not 100% in contact...WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL THIS WORK AND NOT DAMAGE MY ENGINE, OR SHOULD I ORDER A PULLEY FROM SUBARU? Please let me know as I miss driving my baby!! MK

I wouldn't use that. I would contact the seller and let them know it is off.

It is not installed properly. Check the key and correct the discrepancy and you should be ready to go!

Just curious, how could one improperly install a crank pulley such that it was offset too far rearward (i.e. towards the timing cover)?

Upside down, perhaps?

Who is the manufacturer of the crank pulley (for future reference)?

interesting things can happen when that little "key" doesn't come together with the grove and the pulley exactly as was intended when the system was created...

Re: HELP! Crank Pulley Quesion....
Overall depth of pulley just a bit less than original...new pulley made by OBX, can be seen on ebay when search "svx crank pulley"...my guy is trying to decide and if washer will work for offset and he can replace key with a longer one that fits right, then and we may decide to give it a go...If we do it, I will report results...keeping fingers and fan belts crossed for luck!!
