Default Re: NEED a CRANK pulley 92-95 Civic EX D16Z6

The D16Z6 uses a heavy rubber dampened crank pulley. It weighs over 6 lbs.
If you use a lightweight pulley, even a D15 pulley, you will damaged the
engine in short time.

The same motor that had the bad bearings after 10,000 miles with lighweight
pulley......looked like this 30,000 miles after correct pulley was used.

I had also used 25 bottles of nitrous since replaciing the bad bearings,
none before.
