Those pulleys are engine specific.

just out of curiousity, what are you trying to gain with the pulleys? I only ask because I got the unorthodox lightweight underdrive pulley and didn't gain anything... I got more out of yarding out my A/C.

I am willing to bet good money that you will HONESTLY not feel any difference. If you want quicker revs and less "crank drag" (I assume you are talking about inertial mass?), buy a lightweight flywheel.

fiDANZA light weight flyweight 15+ hp to the wheels. dont buy the pulley kit but if you really want it JUST get THE under drive crank pulley thats the only thing that really makes the difference the other pulleys you wont notice.

Pulleys have also been known to add wear on engines.If you want to know more search around a bit, I remember reading a couple long threads about it.I would link you but I'm one lazy bastard.

this is true reduced weight pulleys and flywheels do cause wear to an engine only because the those items were balanced to the crank of the engine when it was assembled. if you were ever rebuilding an engine and had the money to have a light wight fly wheel and harmonic balancer/(under drive pulley) balanced to the motor you would have very nice results

what you would really want if you just have to get a Crank pulley is a dampner;

a little pricey but it would would work and not have to worry about the extra wear and tear that a plain Jane light weight crank pulley would do. it also has timing marks on it unlike the UR crank pulley and the OBX crank pulley's i had previously.And it is harmonically dampened
