Pulleys - condition


SUPRA4EVA

Recommended Posts

I have access to the pulleys and the belt that came off had no wear or damage, it was done a while ago too.

But the pulleys have an indented surface on the groves. Not sharp, just very tired/fretted.

Anyone else running their pulleys in this condition?

Given what could happen if the belt does go because it gets damaged by the pulley, I would just replace it whilst you have access. It might be a non interference engine but if that belts lets go at speed, it can do all manner of damage to the things around it.

Agreed, I'd replace the crank pulley, timing belt, aux belt and WP all while you have access for the sake of a few hundred pounds.

The condition of the pulleys on the PS and A/C look fine to me and probably wouldn't be an issue. It's up to you but if you're going through a mini restoration, a new A/C compressor, reconditioned/new PS pump and rebuilt Alternator may also be a smart idea, so you know everything is new/good when it's finished.
