Faulty Pulley Ruined My Engine

Based on my experience, this pulley is simply a disaster waiting to happen. It may work fine initially, but don't be fooled by that. The cons are that it`s poorly made and will ultimately ruin your engine .The only pro is that it's easy to install. Overall if you value your automotive, don't waste your time and money on this product..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting, ensuring reliable engine performance.
Cons
  • Requires specialized knowledge and tools for installation and tension adjustment, which can increase maintenance costs.

Error in the instructions

The tensioner appears to be in good condition, but the tightening torque given in the instructions is wrong. The tensioner is secured with an 8mm 1.25 bolt and the instructions say it should be tightened to 40 ft.lbs. There is no right way. Look elsewhere for torque for this bolt.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Not everything fits
