For the record, I had never seen something like this happen to an NST pulley before. You should let Mike know about this.

WP and ALT pulleys are much smaller and sturdier. I'd be willing to bet they're impossible to break.

But bro, the pulley shown is a water pump pulley, if i'm not wrong.

Damn you're right! Looked to me like the crank pulley the first time.
Well I'll be...

Yes, I trust them , hence this is my 2nd purchase, after my 1st got damaged in an accident. BUT no i'm not going to get another again. End of the road for me.

It's strange there has been no reply from Mike from NST. I've sent him a pm and a pm on facebook. Has anyone else tried to contact him about this?

This is something I can't stand. You would at least think he would reply in some way, even if it's a simple "We're looking into the problem.".

Damn that is crazy now I'm worried about my WP pulley because the belt is making a grove into it and I'm afraid its going to give in any day now, but my friend is a mechanic he said it's fine.

If you take the time to review this very thread, you can see how Mike always answers all posts. Just give it some time.

I'm not slamming Mike. I know he answers questions about his products. Normally this is done promptly and within a day. This time no response as yet. Maybe he's on holiday or something. I'd just like too see what he says about this issue.

From what I've been told we don't need a dampener on these pullys. But that pulley that's come apart looks like metal fatigue, maybe caused by no dampener.

A lot of us have this product or similar, so we all have a vested interest in Mike's response. I need my car to get to work, I know how much better it performs with the CR Lite Crank Pulley, but if it's going to shatter and smash into pieces in my engine bay doing damage, maybe I should go back to stock pulley.

I am aware that the failed pulley shown is the water pump pulley. I have not heard of a failed NST crank pulley.

The dampener/no dampener subject has been discussed and rediscussed ad-nauseaum on this very thread.

Additionally, the dampener/no dampener subject only applies to crank pulleys. The broken pulley in question is not a crank pulley, hence there's no point in bringing it up. The stock WP pulley does not have a dampener.

Exactly. No need to worry over nothing. Every product out there is prone to damage due to various factors -- some could be attributed to the manufacturer, others to the consumers and the way they (mis)use them.

Bernie,

I'll choose what, when, why and how I worry over things, I always have and will. Why are you making a mountain out of a mole hill? This is for Mike to answer, isn't it?
