I'll post picks tomorrow, but there is about a 1/2" chunk taken out of the lip of the crank pulley. Another 1/2" section of the outer lip on the alternator pulley is bent 1/8" toward one of the ribs.

Since the crank is blanced, should it be replaced or is 1/2" on the lip diameter not that much to worry about?

Thanks.

Balance isnt as much an issue as your belts slipping off and ****ing your day up good.

Thank you for the feedback.

If they need to be replaced, is there an equivalent (ie. KA or FWD SR) that I can pick up in the U.S.? If not, do I have to source pulleys from an older RWD S13 SR20DET or some other Nissan motor?

Thanks.
