thats a myth. look up info on honda-tech, or acura-zine.

 

bump, still for sale!

 

OK, oil pump and #1 main bearing killer. That pulley has absolutely NO harmonic balance built into it. The harmonic vibration kills oil pump gears and #1 main bearings. SEEN IT FIRST HAND MORE THAN ONCE. I don't quote other poeples ideas or situations, I speak from years and years of first hand experience.

 

haha, oh man let me just find the thread on honda-tech for you:

The misconceptions and myths behind crank pulleys and dampers

and you've had first hand experience on what cars? accords? i doubt it.

 

Ummmmm, like the 30+ honduhs I have built or maybe the 50+ honhuhs I have tuned.... Or maybe the 15+ honduhs I have turbo'd.

 

and they all tried to use crank pulleys and the oil pump and/or bearings failed on them, yea i call bs.

 

No, but I have taken a couple of engines with cut or lightened crank pulleys. They all had signs of the #1 main bearing being worn. The engine that I had looked at were stock. They didn't have enough power to kill the oil pump gear.

 

must've been installed wrong because ive never heard my friend complain when he installed his crank pulley on his '97 accord.

 

Thats a good one! installed wrong. There is only 1 way to install a crank pulley.
