when i bought my b18c5 bottom end, it had no crank pulley

no big deal, easy enough to find another one but my question is should i just buy a honda pulley or should/would it be okay to buy an aftermarket such as AEM or Sk2?

i know that if i had the stock one, there would be no benefit of buying an aftermarket pulley but since its gonna cost me big bucks either way (even with my friend working at a dealership givin it to me with his discount) maybe i should look into aftermarket pulleys as well.

thoughts, comments, suggestions?

thanks

 

Go OEM. They're a lot heavier, but I've heard horror stories about people's oil pumps failing from the use of the lightened crank pulleys (unorthodox for instance).

I had the unorthodox before, but I sold it after my Hondata tuner said that one of his customers had his motor blow because his oil pump failed. They traced it to the unorthodox crank pulley. I'm not completely sure how, but I don't feel like taking chance. h:

A lot of ppl run the N1 pulley. It's OEM, and it only has the the belt/ribs for the bare minimum pullies you need.
