Question someone could help with

voidfinger · Feb 13, 2008

Hey guys, I'm looking into going on and doing the pi swap here in a couple months and since i already have all the stuff basically.. heads/cams/intake... I gotta get some head work done before though ... magfluxed, slight shave to get good sufface, new seals... maybe a new valve job/guides... if they need it.

My question comes in since i have to remove the crank pulley i have a used set of march underdrives with the one piece crank pulley... well they look like shit ... i was wondering if there are places that will maybe clean them off and put a new powdercoat on them? and is this ok? will it have any bad effects?... this is mainly b/c the crank pulley looks rough ... lots of nicks and shit...

Just give me your opinions guys. I would do this asap but i gotta pay some money back since the tranny went out a couple months ago. thanks

Mitchell

There are places, I'm sure you could even find one locally.I don't think that heating that pulley is wise though.

heating the pulley? o you mean to powdercoat... well then how is it coated to start with b/c its coming off.

Probably annodised, powdercoating is tougher. I don't have any idea what heat a crank pulley can withstand, you could call and ask them, or just try it and find out.

wonder if they could just strip it then... or hell i might just leave it as is... just kinda beat up though.

If it anno'd, over cleaner would strip it. The pure eat your skin kind of oven cleaner. Then you could polish it and clear coat or or whatever.

yea i could... i just wonder how i'm gonna fix the scaring of the front... one kinda cut into it a little..

Jrgunn5150 · Feb 13, 2008

How bad? It's not like you can really see it great down there anyway.

voidfinger · Feb 13, 2008

yea true... i'm wondering if it would mess it up if i smoothed it out a little... b/c it would remove that weight... or should i just leave it the way it is and put it on there.... ? o well

Did it mauled from the puller? I would just try to smooth it a bit, but if it has like gouges in it, I would just knock the edges down and leave it be.
