Listen to leforte, this is his forte.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />There's another brand in the market that sells similar thing but mainly for JDMs and local cars. To further lighten the weight, they even build it smaller and with some common sense, you can imagine the damages its going to do to your ancillary components like aircond compressor, power steering pump, alternator and water pump because all these components now will rotate a lot faster due to the smaller diameter crank pulley, thus shortening their life.Another problem we faced is the material used for its construction, it seems to expend and shrink at a very different rate compare to the OEM cast iron pulley. Result is it will bite so hard onto your crank rod and its a nightmare to pull it out when you need to remove it for whatever reason, and confirm the knocking to get it out will damage the soft pulley. So better keep the OEM as spare in the car.. :wink:Of whatever mentioned by leforte is the main reason you should not use it, I just tumpang only.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
