so, i know you've all been wondering where ive been(yeah right)... i got called back to my job. so now that i have the monies, my civic which has lain motionless for 2 months is going to the shop to get professionally fixed/tuned. yay! no more 97 dx automatic!!! i am also getting rid of my dumb unorthodox underdrive pulley. im putting a jdm ctr pulley on since i dont have power steering or a/c. is this a good idea? maybe it will offer some damping. i worry for my main bearings with that silly aluminum pulley on it. well, hi again to ever buddy!

 

I'd be worried about the main bearings too. So much so that I personally wouldn't change the harmonic balancer. But it's up to you.

 

well, i mean theres already a crappy one on it. if i change to a oem unit, albeit one for a b16, i'll feel a little better...

 

ya slap a oem one on it and know its good for the motor!

 

Welcome back Mbrent! Looking forward to seeing some progress!

 

welcome back man

good choice on the CTR pulley

 

thx everybody. ive been so busy lately.... hopefully it will only be a couple wks b4 shes mechanically sound again. then i get to focus on aesthetics....

 

so when can i get my 4dr civic....????

 

Are OEM Harmonic balancers all the same? Looking at them it seems the weights are soldered onto them. Like they are individually balanced for that particular crank.
