Question on shaving crank pulley
The stock B16 crank pulley on my car is chipped all to hell, so I put the stock ls one on. In true fucktard form I put it on the shortblock and forgot to torque it down once I had the tranny on and the ---- in the car. Yes it left a beautiful impression in my floorboard as it left to never never land.
So I know everyone says the lightweight aluminum pulleys will ---- your bearings from lack of balance or some ----, so I assume the chipped pulley will be the same bad news. Would it solve the situation if I have a machine shop shave off the outer belt or so? I'm only running an alternator anyway.
If I can go that route, turn it on a lathe, or plane it on a mill? The machinist I have for work said he owes me for modeling ---- for him in solidworks so I'm sure cost will be dirt either way.
