SLP Underdrive pulley "I need HELP"
I got the old pulley off with no issues. Here is my dilema. I cannot get the new SLP underdrive pulley on because the bolt is to short. Can anyone give me an idea? Or where can I buy a M16-2.00 X 125/130mm? Thanks

as said above, use the threaded rod way not the longer bolt. a local hardware place should have the stuff to whip something up with. i used a longer bolt but would have been more comfortable with threaded rod. good luck!

If you can find a threaded rod they work beter. The rod threads into all of the threads in the crank, then you use washers and a nut and then just crank the nut down until the pulley seats all the way.
Then continue on with the normal SLP install directions.
Yes almost all LS1's run into this issue when installing a pulley. I even tried heating mine in the over but it did not help, I then got a longer bolt and got mine on.

Do a search and you will find a huge number of horror stories from pulling pulleys on with bolts - damaged theads, stripped cranks, broken bolts, etc. IMHO it just makes no sense to chance it. Get a threaded rod, screw it in, then pull the pulley on. If you are bound to chancing it, follow the advice above and heat the pulley to 200 or so degrees in the oven and see if it will go on a good part of the way. Be sure to use a new bolt for final assembly BTW.

Thanks to all for the advice. One of the members is fixing me up with the installer I need to do the job right. Of all the things I need to happen pulling the threads on the crank snout is not one. It always cost's me more when I do it myself, but I do it for the love of the game. LS1 Tech is a great place with great people.

There is a guy in the tool section that sells a tool to do this relativly cheap. He goes by Hawk636 or something like that. Do not try to take a shortcut and **** up the threads on your crank.

The aftermarket pully does not have "plastic" per say, but it does have a rubber isolater that is what dampens the vibrations.
Also you will not be able to use a 2x4 or 4x4 to put the pulley on, there is just not enough room in front of the motor to use them.

Bullshit!!!!!! I have done this more than 20 times to my car and others with no problems at all. 2x4 turned sideways, or a 4x4 and a ******* sledge hammer, or just a really big hammer works everytime!
