Bender Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi im just about to change my crankshaft pulley as its the time for it and was checking internet for prices and im a bit confused as they are anything between £49 (non toyota) - £200(toyota made) and i just wonder its really worth it to buy oem toyota or those cheaper ones are good as well ?

Scooter Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The jury is out on whether the cheap ones are dynamically balanced. Genuine ones have drill 'dimples' in unique places on the face of them, suggesting they are finely balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I bought my OEM crank pulley in from the USA maybe three years ago. Landed taxes paid about 60% of the UK price, exchange rate isn't as favourable today but it'd still be worth looking at a few US Toyota part suppliers.

Swampy442 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Just get one from Toyota. Its an essential item with a service life, once replaced it will last the life of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Didn't CW say he put one on a balancing machine and it was a mile off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Taken from this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?351739-crank-pulley-gone Posted by CW on page 2 Pitiful as in probably never balanced, just as is off the CNC. For laughs I put a Febest or whatever they are called on the balancer and it was a mile out. I too found it rather suspicious it had no drillings for balance... I have a mandrel for balancing the dampers separately from the crank, and for flywheels, the damned thing was jumping off the machine Balancing one, assuming the bonding is as good as OE puts the cost up there with an original, which have always proven bob on. It was customer supplied so after balancing I fitted it and it was hardly a a pull on fit on an unworn crank nose, too. So all in all rather suspect.

rider Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Its incredible to see from that old thread that the UK Toyota price for these was around £100 3 years ago and now its double that, Supra inflation I guess. The company I've used a few times is an independent dealer out of Atlanta, McGeorge. They were always good at follow up on email enquiries and back 3 years ago about half the price of your local Toyota dealer. Haven't used them since buying in that crankshaft pulley though.

jonc Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Makes ma laugh that people now owning these cars don't want to pay the prices for the spares. I have always use Paul, Chris, Keron, TCB or Mr T for my car. They are all old girls that need money spending on them. Decent parts and maintenance is more important than body kits, strut braces and large flash wheels that need arches rolling. eBay link does look like genuine articles mind so good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one i found its located somwhere near Dubai and price seams the same as on amayama (which can be send from japan or dubai) plus lots of positive feedback looks legit to me.

Scooter Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'm certain you could fit a solid one and have no issues in a short time frame, it's the long term effects that re uncertain, but you pays your money takes your chance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_C1 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I've ordered parts from that ebay seller in Dubai and the parts are all genuine Toyota, I got front and rear window seals and rear bootlid rubber stops if I remember correctly.
