If ...and I say "IF" ....I was to buy an Ebay pully (and I know the Pros and Cons) with no timing marks on then how would you go about setting the mark other than lining up piston no:1 with the Top Dead Center although this is a bit bodge and wouldnt be very accurate.

 

Any one?

 

Ta :wack:

HHMMm....thats an idea.

But I think the underdrive light weight pullys are different circumference (the belts are different size anyway) so it might be tricky.

 

If I was to get one then my Engineering buddy could run it up on his cnc machinery and check its true/balanced before fitting but Im not sure on this whole timing mark thingy :( .

 

:wack:

Actually, using TDC from a dial gauge is probably the most accurate way of doing it. But what you'd probably end up doing is getting an engineer put the marks on it for you, working from the original pulley.

good question Steve. Ever since the problem arose of there not being timing marks on the e-Bay pullys mine has sat unloved in the garage for ages. It wuold be interesting to see if there is an accurate enough way of marking up and installing the pulley without knackering the engine.

I rang me engineering mate and he said "YUP"...no probs...take the measurements from original pully :cool:

 

SkylineDave....If you can get your pulley to me then I can get the mark put on for you for nowt but dunno how much it would cost you in P+P....bit of a drive from leicster so might cost you in juice.

Offers there if you need it though :duffer:

 

Right ...im off to Ebay to get me a pully :nana2:

thanks for that Steve :bow: You got a PM on its way.

is there a question of balancing as well - I heard this from somewhere - just seems too easy that's all.

Chances that its off balance are minimal as it would of been machined on a CNC so unless the machine had conkers for bearings it will be OK...but will get my mate to run it up on his kit and see what there like.

Usually called de-cat pipes or test pipes in the US as they're not legal for road use in most states.
