Any one have one from a spare motor. I need one for my 1994 VH45DE. Mine had 4-wheel steering and I need a pulley from a motor that didn't have 4-wheel steering.

Thanks...............

Every VH crankshaft pulley is individually matched to engine during assembly in Japan.................see tiny weights. They seemed to get lazy about it in newer versions 95>96.

then how can the dealer sell them without a VIN or even seeing the car?? Not only is mine from a HICAs model, but the front edge of the pulley is chipped. It seems that all I would need to do is have the pulley balance checked to ensure the person I got it from didn't take it apart.

You lose street cred points with a chipped pulley, sorry.

mostly due to the fact that my pulley is a HICAs pulley and I need a non-HICAs pulley to run my power steering pump........

If you can use an oem generic replacement just extra stress on bearings.Replacement parts are only warrantied to last 12,000 miles, but many are nearly as good as new build.

The point was the engines were built to last 500,000 miles if you changed oil every 90 days.

You can install weights from old pulley in correct holes on new pulley and accomplish a very near match.
