If anybody out there has a crankshaft pulley for D16Z6 92-95 Civic for sale
(3 sets of tracks: AC, PS, Alt) or can point to the possible source of used
car parts (immediate, reliable - friend, tune-up shop, website) I will
really APPRECIATE IT.

I know lots of guys drop the stock pulleys and put underdrive or racing
style. Those old pulleys have to wait somewhere for me, ...?

no smart person would replace a D16Z6 pulley, it WILL destroy the main
bearings in 10,000 miles. Don't even try to use a D15 on either.

Why would it hurt? Is the pulley balance-fit to the crankshaft? My pulley
died after pulley bolt became loose (my bet). Crank ground hole in the
pulley, it is at least 2 mm wider now in diameter, so it seats very loose on
crank. I tried just tighten the bolt but my mechanic said it is a bad idea.
The key was bitten hard while trying to hold loose pulley on the crank -
transformed almost into X shape.
So, I got exact same pulley, cut new oversized key, torgued it.
Now you are saying I cannot go with a different pulley. I have no choice.

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.

I did not get it. I already found and put on EXACT same STOCK pulley for
D16Z6. Not a lightweight. Are you saying that EXACT same STOCK pulley will
hurt?

Why would lightweight pulley cause all this problems? Only because it has no
rubber piece to cut obvious misbalancing between big and two smaller actual
"pulleys".
