Default Unorthodox Racing???
I have heard alot of good things about unorthodox racing, but I have also heard that the new crank pulley may cause premature engine bearing wear. Is this a fact or fiction?

My former tuner said he experienced a motor's oil pump failing due to the UR crank pulley. I removed mine before I could find out...

If a pulley is un-balanced it would most definatly cause wear to any of the rotating assembly that it's attached to.

I believe the unorthodox pulleys do not have a balancing mechanism of any sort and can therefore cause premature wear.

u could drop it off at your local machine shop and have them balance it.. if it's off they'll just knife at it till it's right!

Thats what i did. When i got mine i heard about this issue and went to the machine shop. They said it was a little off so they got it all straight. Did not want to chance it.
