I am going to make a practice of replacing my Crank Pulley every time the
timing belt is replaced!

Just add this to the other parts you replace "when you are in there"!
What did I miss?

Well... if you're going to do the crank pulley, you'll have to do the cam pulley too.  Same design, 
same weaknesses.

They are even proud of the fact that they "Crack" them into two pieces after
the big end is machined to diameter, maybe OK for a Honda, but....!


Those are sintered rods... actually supposed to be a good thing... adding to the stability of the
alignement between the rod and cap.  This is considered to be the best current rod technology... FWIW.
