Broke crank pulley during cam install While "attempting" to remove the !@#! crank pulley for my first cam install, I snapped one
of the puller tabs on the back of the pulley right off. That ***** was on there. After about
2 hours of screwing with it I finally got the pulley off.
So do I need to buy a new one now? Will that small of a piece near the center throw
the balance way off? Could I JB Weld it back on?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Brandon

There are at least 10,000 stock pulleys cluttering up basements and garages all over the country, just get another one...

Re: Broke crank pulley during cam install Since you have to replace it anyway, now's the perfect time to get an underdrive pulley-- why wouldn't you? <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
To hell with the stock one <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Re: Broke crank pulley during cam install Wow-- that's a new one on me...
Any way to check/verify this?
I have one, and I wonder if/how anyone's found proof of this.
If you know of any places for me to get this info, I'd appreciate the head's-up <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
