Boostlogic crankpulley help

Recommended Posts

A little while ago I bought a boostlogic crankpulley from a member on here who has since disappeared so I can't ask him, does anyone know if these Would normally come with a crankpulley bolt? The stock bolt washer (non removable) is far too big for this pulley and i need a solution :(

Can you not put the bolt in the lathe chuck, hold on the shank

of the bolt, push the bolt head/washer up tight to the jaws and

put a couple of small tack welds on the washer to the head ?

 

Then turn the washer down

 

That is a great idea bud just I dont know of anyone with a lathe :( there is big lack of little firms that Would just Do a little job like that here, big company's would bone you for such a small job

If you had a nut to fit the thread you could use extra washers and lock the main

washer to the bolt head to save you tack welding it

 

I couldn't find a nut anywhere near big enough but I do have a scrap crank now I think of it I could use that and as for the washer part thats simples :)

Just buy a new bolt of the correct length and get a suitable (thick) washer made. Or carefully (no nicking the bolt!!!) hacksaw the washer off and get a new one made the right size, if the bolt is the correct length. I needed over 75 tonnes to press a BL damper hub off a crank a bit ago. The fit is appalling, don't they say they need honing out to fit? You can easily damage the crank pulling one on with the bolt, that's too tight, and with the crank in the engine it will nigh on impossible to get off. Won't it Hodge :) Personally if they sell a critical component like a crank damper with the hub not bored to the right size I wouldn't have any faith in the rest of the thing.

I need to measure up yet to confirm bolt length, not sure about the honing mate as this is a lovely fit, same fit as my stock one :)

The washer can be turned down quite easily. I`m not keen on the idea of hand grinding/ filing it to size, as this could affect the balance if it`s not concentric. If you could post this to me with the required dimension I`ll sort it out for you free of charge;) pm me if you`re interested.

 

That would be awesome mate, pm en route ;) I do need to measure up the length to be 100% first :)
