That's good info from ELaudio. I'm basing my knowledge off this from the UR pulley that uses a key. After only 6 months, there was an expensive engine problem. I know the DH pulley is quality and will be putting it on hopefully soon with some help.

We should be getting belt sizes as more people get theirs installed.

Ok well here goes with my install of the dual groove pulley. currently its days 2 the only problem i face is incorrect belt size for the alternator. there are two belts one is a 4 notch belt and the other is 6 notch. the 6 goes on first and the 4 goes on second. The 6 groove belt powers the alternator and the 4 groov the power steering. ok here is my progress. i got the pulley on got the powersteering belt to fit perfectly but the alternator belt i am having trouble. no trouble with installing. i just keep getting my measurment wrong. first i bought one that was too big and the belt would slip. next i got one thaty was too small so it wouldnt go on at all. currently a friend of mine is on his way with a new belt that will work because its the only size left. so here goes with the belt sizes you should need...

for sure the belt size on the powersteering is :
Gates #K040390
the actual size of the belt is 14 mm x 1005mm

for the alternator im sure that Kelly Springfield model #350k6 will work that is what is being brought to me in a few. the actual size of that belt is 35 inches and it is 6 notches.

the problem i was having was that i bought the #345k6 which was too small and the #360k6 was too big so buying a 350k6 will work just fine. I'll update the info to make sure that the belt sizes are correct once the belt gets to me.

Are you sure you do not have those numbers backwards #K040390
come up on the autozone site as the kelly belt not the gates.

I'm still biased...All the mechanics I have talked to from Honda here is telling me not to install this pulley...Even the master mechanic, ( A good friend) is telling me that it could still cause serious damage to our engines. Maybe everyone I talk to is wrong, but I never have known Joey (Honda master mechanic) to steer me or anyone wrong.

Yeah my old dealer said I shouldn't use any other aftermarket plugs because they mess up the engine. My new dealer insists that only NGK will work in our cars. Dealers have a tendency to steer people away from aftermarket stuff, especially things they can't see are installed (so they can't blame it if there's a warrenty issue).

If the pulley is balanced, which Josh says it is, then it can't damage the engine.

Gearbox - badly manufactured pulley = balance issues! Like any other rotating component on a car, the worse the balance, the worse the vibration. Problem is that with pulleys, you can't feel the vibrations like unbalanced tires, say. But your engine can feel it!

So what's your view on this, being you're a mechanical engineer, right? I guess there's no way to really find out if it's balanced until something happens.

What the hell dude?? Why are you getting so pissed??? People have concerns and questions....Is there anything wrong with that..Also, the master mechanic I was referring to also has a shop on the side that deals with after market install/parts....I would rather take his advice (30 years exp.) over someone on the internet that i never met before. I might be wrong, but atleast I won't run the risk if there is a prob. It's just my opinion

Sorry man, I'm not getting pissed. Just wondering if you can say what the mechanic told you. Cause if he has that much experience, he knows what's up.

Oh did you think I was being sarcastic to you? The mechanical engineer thing was for ELaudio, since he really is one.

I didn't think you were being sarcastic at all...I thought you were being an ass to tell the truth...It'll all good, I just try to understand both sides to each explantion. I would try to repeat what my mechanic told me, but it was kinda over my head....Feel free to call him with any questions you might have...Maybe he could give you guys some good advice...Hell, maybe you could teach him something he doesn't know ...Joey Songer (Raceworks) (770)886-1380 He's a great guy and would be glad to help/answer anyones ?'s

Not jumping on anyones side or being an ass, but from what I have heard, and also talked about withother people who know their sh!t, the only problem you would have with a pulley is either the balancing issue or timing. I still think this is a great buy if you get a single groove, the dual grove, although providing comfort, doesn't really interest me.
