Default Bomz underdrive crank pulley

I just ordered a Bomz crank pulley. I've never used them before, and I was wondering if any one knew anything about the quality of their products.

putting a main pully on your motor from anyone that u have to question quality from is an absolutly horrible idea. Reason = the main pulley is what you call a harmonic (sp?) balancer, which means if it's not perfectly made & the metal is not of great quality, causing one side to be slightly heavier than the other, it put extreame wear on the bearings inside your motor. .. just an FYI

I used a Unorthodox Crank Pulley on my CRX for years without problems. I think it's all a myth. Your bottom end isn't balanced and blue-printed anyway.

^^^I agree with all statements above. Unorthodox is great with their pulleys, and bombz is a horrible company for car parts. their name is known around ebay if you search there a lot. A crank pulley has to be perfectly balanced to work properly or else you will be ****ing up many other vital parts of the motor. hope this is a good lesson. good luck

Unorthodox is like one of the best ones that u could buy, & the whole bottom end being balanced as a myth.. i totaly disagree!
