Default Loose procharger pulley. Video inside.

Hey guys. I am upgrading to a d1sc on my corvette and the pulley seems exceptionally loose on the shaft. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Hopefully I am not just being obsessive.


Thanks,
Jeff

I have had a bunch of Prochargers, and none had a pulley that loose.
Thinking maybe someone installed the pulley at one time and forget the
key, and maybe it spun. Once the bolt is on, it will prob be ok-maybe some
blue loc tite, as I have had red loc tite on them from Procharger.

Yeah it is certainly odd. I checked the pulley and the shaft, neither show any wear from spinning.

If you have 2 units there...measure both and see where the wear actually is.

But none of them are ever a press fit, and effectively they drive on the keyway anyway. So it'd probably be ok, but measure to be sure in case the shaft is the issue somehow.
