If your car is 10 years of age or older, there's a good chance that the pulley is as close to munted as the one you just took off the crank shaft.
Why?
Because RUBBER is why.
Rubber is the part that most often fails in a crank pulley, crank balancer or harmonic damper.
Rubber is an organic substance that breaks down with heat, water, oil, use and simple age.
All rubber parts of your automobile are going to die a slow sad death at some stage and require replacement.
When the rubber dies it usually does one of two things:
It cracks, shrinks, dries out and gets hard as a piece of wood.
It melts into a soft gooey jelly that is very messy to clean up.
So replacing your harmonic damper with a second-hand damper that may cost you just as much as a rebuilt damper means that it is inevitable that you will have to replace it again soon.
It also puts your precious automobile's engine at risk of catastrophic failure.
Check out our other blog posts to find out why.
We are totally happy to repair and re-rubber any second-hand or original OEM damper for you before you put it on your vehicle.
Care for your engine by buying it a re-manufactured damper/pulley or a new damper.
