Very unhappy customer (NST pulleys).

[Black_griffin6]

Hey everyone;

About a year ago I installed the Micro image lightweight crank pulley, and the NST waterpump and alternator pulleys.
Well a few months ago I noticed a clicking noise from my engine bay, it didn't happen all the time and I thought it was just a loose bolt from the exhaust after I redid my header.
Recently the clicking/tick noise became so loud I HAD to check it out.
First I thought it was the belt, as it was coming from that area and the noise got faster when I rev the engine.
I knew it wasn't a valve because I checked the engine out with the mechanic's stethoscope.

Turns out it was my water pump pulley. It had actually cracked all the way through the metal in more then 3 places and was causing it to vibrate and shake violently, making a terrible clicking and tapping noise.

I know NST is no longer a vendor here, so i'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a warranty on this kind of thing? And what is a good way of getting in contact with NST? I've looked on their website and haven't found much in terms of customer service.

Out of all my things i've ever bought, this has to be the only thing that's ever failed on me yet.
I'm happy to report the MI pulley is doing great though.
So i'm still running the MI pulley and the NST Alt. pulley, but i've put the stock WP pulley back on and it's been doing great ever since.

Will post pics of the pulley later.

I also have sent NST an email, haven't heard back yet, but will keep you guys posted.
