OnHey guys,
When working on the timing belt of my grey Mi16, I noticed that the
crankshaft pulley is beginning to spin around it's mounting point. My
other 405 did this once, and the belt stopped turning completely. I
went to the movies, then drove home at 2AM with no headlites 'cause I
had barely enough juice in the battery to fire the plugs!
So anyway to avoid this happening again, I'm going to need to buy a
new pulley. W. Hemispheres has them for a little over $250. I don't
mind paying that if that's what I gotta do, but I was wondering if
there is an alternative to the OEM part? Are we certain that the
rubber damper is necessary? I'm not sure what a harmonic balancer
does, but if it's not needed, I'll just weld the outer to the inner
and call it good. Thanks!
