What I mean is: is the crank balanced?


if it's not, running a crank pulley without a harmonic balancer can be very dangerous to the engine and eventually cause crankwalk. That's why I recommend the CTR N1 Crank Pulley, it's has the harmonic balancer in it.


EDIT: just saw your second reply. You'll be safe.

Nice project, it's coming along nicely! I love EF's; when I get my Si done, I'm getting a CRX. I've always wanted one.

About those metal plates that Trust posted: At work we call them nailing plates. I do plumbing; we nail those plates in front of gas or water lines, so no one tries to, say, hang a picture, and put a nail right through a gas/water line. If you want, I'm more than willing to grab you a couple, just pay me for shipping.

Thanks, ya it has definitely come a long way.

I will definitely take you up on that offer, but not for a while because right now the interior is my last worry. I need to figure out how the previous owner hacked this wiring.

Yeah, for sure. Just PM me whenever you're ready. Just pay me for shipping, and I'll get you like 10 of them, so you have extras. They really do come in handy for making brackets, I've lost count of how many times I have used them, since I started working here.
