My baby is back together & seems to be running fine. I didn't drive it, but the new crank pulley went on fine. What a relief!! The old pulley had almost an 1/8" of material gone from the inside.
Now repeat after me...NO MORE BOOST UNTIL THE CRANK IS PINNED!!!! :whack:
If you are running high RPMs, or a SC, you better pin it. Learn from my mistakes...twice.
Special thanks to Cody for getting me the pulley. And thanks to everyone else who helped too. :hshake:
Glad to hear it. Not much worse than our babies being broke!
Glad to hear she will live without a crank!
When are you going to pin it??? I want to see :jump:
well at least you got it fixed. now are you coming to the bbq or not?
Good news man, hate those unecessary scares!!
I saw a twin turbo Vette that the crank pulley came off! It was getting pinned too!
Aren't we all full of good intentions? :laugh: I was going to get my engine timing pulled back about 8 degrees before I sprayed it the next time. Now I'm waiting for my new engine because my good intentions were only as valuable as the paper they were written on(didn't exist). :nutz:

How exactly do you pin it? I am running about 6psi on a 5.3 with a whipple.

5.3lt rcsb 4wd whipple + bilsteins + hotchkis.

SC, I did not get a call from you......
Any results yet :pics:

It's a tool to drill a hole at the intersection of the crank snout and balancer pulley. You drill and ream a hole there and then drive a round pin in there to keep the balancer from ever spinning on the shaft. If you don't tighten the pulley bolt enough you can count on eventually spinning the pulley on the shaft if you don't pin it.
I beg to differ about the "If you don't tighten the pulley bolt enough you can count on eventually spinning the pulley on the shaft if you don't pin it." SC and my hands took a beating this last time, even making sure we turned the how ever many degrees plus after the initial 35? ft/#'s..... blood was on someones hands.
Since SC is pushing 9+ #'s I don't think any amount of tightening will hold down that pulley.... IMHO :sad:
