Actually I really dont see the crank pulley being a problem. But I also am not sure I trust it either. Did you buy one and you are just not going to put it on?

If I don't use it I might sell it. I'll decide pretty soon if I want to keep it and use it. I'm pretty sure that I'll put it on there though

Yeah. I'm constantly keeping $1000 in the bank for a new engine if I ever need one as well. I'm thinking about picking one up at the end of this year for build but idk yet.

^It is their lightweight stock size crank pulley. The boost pulley is 14lbs but I'll be pushing about 11-12lbs out of it on my stock engine, for a few months at least, cough cough, lol
