this an item that you should take precaution before putting on your motor. i had this one on mine for about 8 months. if you're a newb, research this before you buy it. i took it off my car b/c i didn't see it being that great of an upgrade for the risk i was taking. but no failures after that amount of time.

at least your an honest man ;)

free bump

Very classy act of walking that line while trying to sell something, but I think "there is a lot of info on how these are bad for your motor" was a complete freebie. You must have been feeling generous. >:D

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

why lie? no one lied to me before i put it on my car. i knew the consequences.

I heard pulleys on boosted cars = death.

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

well, no matter what the application there's always a risk if your stock pulley is a dampner. but some go for a long time with no problems and some end up with bearing failure 6 months later.

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

its all comming together now. I used one on my boosted b16 started 80 psi oil pressure. then to 55psi, now 5-25psi, replaced oil pump, still the same. the rebuilt motor will have a stock pulley

this is one of the 6-7 threads ive read on them that come to a conculsion that there not that bad.....ill find some of the others if wanted.....im not trying to start any flaiming or nothing...very contriversial subject...but i think with a better oil pump u shouldnt have problem with it

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

no need for flaming. there's always going to be torsional vibration in an i-4cyl. motor. the stuff i've read is that stroke has the most to do with how much vibration. the 96-00 model d series civics all have a torsional dampner. it's not a harmonic balancer, but the rubber in it dampens the torsional vibration that the motor puts out. over peiods of time, the crankshaft will start to twist and flex due to the amount vibration and cause the bearings to lose their seat.(spun bearing) now the d16z6 and the d16y7 and d16y8 all have a torsional dampner from the factory due to their 90mm stroke. the d15's with the 84.5mm stroke don't have the dampner in their crank pulley. and i'm curious to why the d16a6 doesn't have one either. it has the 90mm stroke as well. but i have seen cases where people will use a d16z6 harmonic dampner on a d16a6 for hopes of the motor lasting longer.

btw, the stock d16z6 pulley weighs less than the y8 pulley. i've actually tried to test fit the z6 pulley on my y8 but the timing cover sticks out further due to the cfk sensor and rubs the timing cover too much to be safe. but i feel the y8 pulley's will fit a z6 without any problem.

price revisison made. it's now $50 buy it now. i thought i might be wanting more than anyone was willing to pay when i first made the price.

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

you will sell it on ebay, people buy all the time, when I bought mine I used to get outbid everytime could never get on off ebay for cheap, then my friend trade me his for my stock pulley. big mistake. he use to tell me that its not safe to run it, because of oil pump failure, that did not seem logical since the oil pump is driven by the crank not the pulley, and since I am a big risk taker used it. did not ruined my pump but it ruined my bearings after 8000miles, no oil pressure

Re: ebay item i'm selling
 

like i was saying. it was on my 20,000 miles with no failures. you just never no if or when things are going to f up.
