flyby Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Is crank pulley a weak pont on the 2jz engines ? I heard that thay can explode And I just fine that my was loose... Shoud I get a new genuine or a titan ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) The rubber section fails letting the outer ring that the aux belt sits on fly off. If yours is the original one the car came with from new i'd replace it. When you say loose i'm guessing you mean the outer section moves in relation to the centre section, not the whole pulley loose on the crank ? Here is one with the tippex test done and showing the belt drive section has moved and must be replaced. I personally fitted a stock Toyota Crank pulley, do not fit the billet aluminium ones.

SupraLEDrears Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It happened to me. Test it first but mine was only six months old and luckily didn't hit my radiator but did eat the top hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 They don't explode lol, but they do come apart. They have a service life like spark plugs and oil filters, but nobody replaces them because they are a bit expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullAttack Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Agree with swampy.. They should be replaced, but usually left until they poo themselves.. They generally don't do damage when they go, unless it bangs around and hits something.. I wouldn't want to be the car behind you though!! There is some good aftermarket options available, liquid filled dampening pulleys and alike.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was loose on the axel, so the little "not" (dont know the english word) has a small danamge. The cranck pulley bolt was not fasten enough Event if the crank pulley is noget damaged, i thing it is time to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 As you know mate you were very lucky to have caught it, yours was just about to go flying round your engine bay! Yours went when it was mine with my mrs driving. Fortunately the only issue was no power steering and wacky flashy dashy distracting her.

Freddy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Paul Whiffen @ Garage Whiffbitz has just done me a deal on most of my major parts to do all the pulleys and belts etc. I was a little shocked at the price of the crank pulley (Gen Toyota) but, when I got the old one off, I was relieved that I had decided to bite the bullet as Paul suggested and buy one. You could see at the rear of the pulley where the rubber had started to break up and crack like an old tyre. Give Paul a call, he is a cheap as anywhere, and was a good source of advice too.

Not you, just 'people' "People" also renege on servicing their car because of the price of decent oil or put reasonable tyres on performance cars but happily drive down to macdonalds to cruise around a car park do some burn outs and act the cock then think nowt of the cost of the fuel and burgers consumed at said event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
