when you bring it to a mechanic bring the number for dh racing and have the mechanic talk to them directly or something and hopefully they can figure it out over the phone
i havent installed it yet cause i havent bought the belts yet but im planning on taking to a shop who is capable of doing engine shops so i hope they can figure it out
Ok, guys this is rediculous. Whatever mechanics you are dealing with are idiots. Not pointing the finger at anyone doing this themself because I give you credit for your effort, but I walked a V-8 Mechanic through it the other day and he was dumbfounded on how easy it was.
THE PULLEY DOES NOT USE A KEY WAY!!! WE DO THIS BECAUSE ALUMINUM IS A VIBRATION DAMPONER, IT REMOVE VIBRATION THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOTOR, AND THE PULLEY HAS NO CHANCE OF SPINNING. I AND DAVE BOTH HAVE THIS ON MOTORS THAT PUT OUT WAY MORE POWER THEN THE D17'S YOU ARE DEALING WITH AND EVEN WITH DAVE MAKING MORE THEN 220 ALL MOTOR FT LBS OF TORQUE THE PULLEY DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE OF MOVING. SORRY FOR THE CAPS JUST WANT EVERYONE TO SEE
Simply do the following:
Trim Your Timing Cover if needed for the pulley to go on snug.
Press the pulley on
Tighten the bolt down and make sure pulley is staight and not angled
Check and make sure piston #1 is at top dead center and set your mark at the same spot as the timing cover.
This is not hard, really the simplest install of all we offer. If a mechanic can't do it then that is good because it tells you, YOU DEFINATELY NEED TO FIND A NEW ONE.
AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE CONVERSING ON HERE BETWEEN EACH OTHER, I MEAN IT IS A FORUM, BUT IF YOU ARE STUCK BY ALL MEANS I AM OPEN AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT TO TAKE YOUR PHONE CALL ON MY CELL PHONE (661)547-1508. I DON'T WANT THIS TO GO ON FOR MONTHS, JUST CALL ME WITH ANY PROBLEMS AND I WILL GLADLY HELP YOU GUYS OUT.
Are people having problem with the "CRANK SENSOR"??? There is a spacer I believe just like stock that has to go back in there to ensure it doesn't crush the sensor. What's the rate right now on successful installs and non? Let me know. Thanks everyone
ok josh, I just think its a lot of paranoia on our parts getting into something we haven't done before, and this is really the only question I have before I install it. Will there be any force needed to place the pulley on, or should it slide on perfectly. What I mean here is will it slide on with no space between the pulley and the crank.
