The extra clutch is required as a decrease in rotating mass equals a decrease in torque. Should be better engine braking though. Wonder what it feels like on an automatic?

Question: Some new vehicles require a new crank pulley bolt if it has been removed, sort of like a one time use head bolt, because they stretch and are considered a one time use item. Is this true with the Yaris? If the crank bolt worked it's way loose because it was reused when it wasn't supposed to be that would be bad.
I'm going to talk to a service guy I know down at our Toyota dealer and see what his take is on this mod. |

As far as using a new bolt on the crank pulley, I didn't need a new one. My mechanic installed it for me (he had the air tools and hoist) and I haven't had a single issue. As for the engine braking in the auto, I haven't really noticed a big difference. I have been trying to use DFCO as much as I can in town, but this was after I got the pulley installed. Can't really say it changed much at all. Also the local drag strip opened up and has a schedule now, I am going to get my Yaris (after CAI) and LeBaron turbo out there and have some numbers soon.

i got a set of these for free from a friend. they have some minor nics and chips in them. going farther than just the paint, but no cracks. Is there any harm in installing them or do they have to be 100% perfectly balanced?

my friend whom is a toyota mechanic didn't seem to think there would be any problem with the scrapes and scuffs, but i'm just getting a second opinion. sorry for all the typos. i'm writing this from a terminal server session and all the stupid animated gifs on the side slow down my session to a crawl. |
