And what do you have to say about this Kit Vexed ultra arrogant crying kid? Is Johann a guy with no knowledge, no experience?

right?

If you really want to know, when opinions and experiences are exposed on such an arrogant and disrespectful approach like yours, I simply don't care about your experience.

People that cry, shout, manipulate other peoples' statements and thoughts and disrespect other people simply because of their opinion don't deserve any credit.

I don't care if your car still runs with a lightened crank pulley. If that makes you happier, you can even remove the pulley and put the pulley wherever you want (use your imagination).

Learn to live with other people's opinion even if you disagree. That's what distinguish a civilized person from a raw animal.

 

im absolutely crying and i am a raw animal...  im arrogant too..  yes.  i like this  =)

 

at this point, im really only in it for the negatives...  trying to reach 700 honestly..  i know you and the girls are my best bet in reaching my mark so im sucking what i can out of this thread lol

 

i love how much you think it matters.  i love you when you're angry though.

You ladies are getting a bit emotional over this crank pulley business. If it makes you guys feel any better I will probably keep the pulley installed. When I decide to do an engine build I'll make sure to report back if I see any extra wear on bearings 1 and 2

Johann and Dougy thanks for the information.

thanks ladies!

700+

i knew you'd come through   

 

 

Sincerely,

 

"raw animal"

You're right B850, too much talking and "fight" just because of a pulley business. But it's what we get when some unkind commentators shout their minds and think they are the only ones allowed to have the heaven's key.

Anyway, if someone is interested can read a bit of this. Essentially tell us why an OEM crank damper, or a real aftermarket (non simplistic light ones) crank damper, should be kept in the car.

For the others, don't be offended just because I'm posting some stuff about the matter without showing you a picture of a cracked crankshaft or a really weared bearing.

You're welcome B850.

S70 you're all over the place.

I don't see any point at all in replacing the existing pulley unless: 

1) you like wasting money

2) you have a pratical need to underdrive/overdrive your ancillaries due to changes to power band / rpm limits. 

 Changing (out) the DM flywheel has a tangible impact on how the engine responds, the damper, not so much. 

As Johann already pointed out, there is no point purely for weight savings given the crank used.
