[s-cars] was (no subject) now Crank Pulley GB

[Mark Pollan]

Does anybody have the pulley assembly Rossatod that they would be willing to
snap a photo and post to AW?  Like I said before, my memory is failing and
I'd like to be able to actually see the durn thing.

 

Perhaps also we should all be sharing tales of victory rather than failure
since our cars are listening.

Is that the 034-105-263-A pulley that lists for $76.39?  If so, we  
may be 
looking for a group buy of those $45 pulleys.  :-) 

I paid $68.75 in Feb. 

Parts direct at s-cars.org has a 054 105 255 A crankshaft pulley for  
$105, 
but I think that is the serpentine belt pulley that is bolted to the  
harmonic 
balancer ? or timing belt pulley.

Tom- 

I smell another GB...  count me in, since you're offering 8-).  Seems we've
got a number here that would already be in, and considering the CPS GB
success, this would likely be similar?  Someone, go for it?  NOT IT!

I too am in the "tbelt parts Rossato on shelf" club here, all I was waiting
for was to order the crank pulley in the next week - go figure.  Rossato
said he "thought" he'd gotten his from Clair for ~ $45, I just haven't
called yet. 

I say run a GB.  For once I opted to order both the pulley and CPS to line
up to do a job right, and now I stand in amazement at the absolute rash of
recent failures of both these items.  Spooky.  Our cars do listen to the
list.  Scary.  Looks like I'll be adding them "T" fittings for the coolant
lines near the firewall that appear to all be failing recently as well,
since coolant is drained.  Who made some mention of some coolant line that
runs from turbo across front of engine that we should also be considering
"while in there"?  Any further specificity appreciated, I'm unfamiliar of
such line.

I did peek @ my motor mounts during last night's oil change.  Like Chris
said, they do "appear" fine.  But @ 160k, me wonders, least on the turbo
side.  That one looked / felt like it has some flexible rubber "hat" on top
of it of sorts.  Or did the thing sever in two???  Wundrin if should do that
too "while in there"?  

On that note, where does one end???  Hmmmm, while in there, "replace
car"????  Heh heh...
