Rep Power: 359 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

Rep Power: 0 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.
THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Rep Power: 0 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

Rep Power: 0 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.

Rep Power: 788 I don't know what's going on. The first poster had it installed with no problem...then a few other people try and fail.
I remember Josh saying the pulley is designed to be no key way. So that means it just presses on once you take off the old pulley, right?

Rep Power: 0 So, the pulley obviously presses on, by hand & nut power. But if we want to remove it in the future, to replace crank, or change to single groove pulley, how difficult will it be to remove? Anyone have experience in this area?

Rep Power: 0 Ok guys. Some people are saying that they did it just fine and some say they can't. I took a D17 Motor over to the machinist today and it looks like the pulley rubs the crank sensor being we did not realize the pulley would sit inside the timing gear. We are going to send a special billet spacer for your pulleys to ensure the sensor does not get messed up. Look for it in the mail and get it on, it should make the install quite a bit easier too. I really want everyone to get it on and have it running like a beast. I understand everyone is worried, but trust me it will be just fine. I am going to cut a timing cover take a pic of it and show everyone how it should be. Anything else I can do to help with pics I will try and do also while I am working on that. Thanks

Rep Power: 0 I mean the instructions are as basic as I said. I will send pics of what the timing cover should look like, and from then on you put the spacer in press the pulley on, tighten the bolt down, set your timing mark, and install the belts. My cell phone is always on.

Rep Power: 282 I just got mine today, a few hrs ago. So, you (josh) are sending out spacers to everyone who has purchased this? I dont know when I am going to install it, so should I just wait for the spacer to get here before I install?

Yesterday the last of them were sent out so look for them early next week. Sorry about this guys, everything should be fine, but this spacer is just for peace of mind.
