[s-cars] T-belt and RS2 R&R - What else while I'm in there?

[Mark Pollan]

Why oh why would Klaus skimp on such a critical cog?  I'd much rather have
it cost $200 and be properly engineered.  That said, I am totally convinced
and will be replacing it.  Now about them seals.

 

Thanks for the dialogue,

 

Mark

And, if its powdered metal, I wouldn't trust it one bit!  The experience I
have had with pm is that it is not consistent enough to count on in a stress
situation.

Bob, agreed that the $45 expense is worth it and provides some measure of
insurance but no guarantee given the pig iron used here.  It appears that my
memory is failing me.  Is it the cam that has a crescent shaped groove
machined for a separate key (also crescent shaped) that then locks to the
sprocket or am I going back to the crank pulley on my 5KTQ?  Sigh...
 
Regards,
 
Mark

Me too, Mark.  This was a TB job after several others over the
years.  The key is an integral part of the pulley, not a separate
piece.  The remnant of the key literally fell off into my hand.  The
pulley is made of scintered powdered metal and is not all that
physically strong.  Luck?  Maybe.  Or maybe the pulleys are different
material on your MC.  IMHO, the $45 or so added cost is well worth the
price.

Same goes for the crank
pulley Bob.  No issues after 5 t-belts.  Were they more robust on the MC or
was I just lucky or both?  Was it the key that was mangled or the slot for
the key on your pulley?  How much are those pulleys BTW?
