Well you got a good sales pitch and all,but unless you have measured bearing clearances on the crank on high mileage 1nz-fe's and then compared it to normal wear on a engine with the same amount of miles with the pulley,its all speculation and crossing fingers. Road race cars are not expected to live long lives and typicaly don't if they are taken far from stock. So saying the thing lives though road racing is not the type of thing I'm talking about. I'm Talking about spinning a bearing at 120k and being out a motor,loss of oil pressure etc. I'm not claiming to be an "expert",I do however work on engines and know their function.

Everyone appreciates your concern, but when the president of a company who has spent his entire life working on pulleys and only pulleys takes time out of his day to type a lengthy and thorough reply to your post and you come back to say your mind was made up before he said anything... I don't know man. There is a difference between an expert and a home garage gearhead, and Mike is the expert here.

You are absolutely correct. I know you are not an expert, nor have I ever claimed to be an expert of any type. I have only worked with pulleys in one way or another for almost a decade, and I have only about 100 different applications listed on my website.

You should take everything I say and throw it into the trash, I am only here to sell you a product

You should not take my word for anything. Visit the following message boards and see if you can find any customers who have ever had any problems with any NST products. Find ONE person....

www.YarisWorld.com
www.8thCivic.com
www.ScionLife.com
www.houston240sx.com
www.ziptied.com
www.dailyDrifter.com

Search those forums or any other website where people have actually used NST pulleys over the past however many years. See if you can find anyone who has had any problems with any NST product.

It is your car and you should do with it as you see fit. You should never follow anyone blindly, nor should you base your beliefs or values based on what so called "expert" friends of friends tell you in local muffler shops!
