    Crank pulley wobble

    Hey guys, so I’m not sure if I’m just being paranoid or if this is an actual concern.

    While I was under the hood today I noted that my crank pulley seems to have a little wobble to it. This concerns me because I know that the pulley is bolted to the inside of the harmonic balancer which could possibly mean a bent crank. I don’t feel any noticeable vibrations from the engine, it’s actually pretty smooth at idle.

    Here’s a video: https://youtube.com/shorts/oOz4cNglW...k944obH3nrnDjI

    Please let me know what you think.

    Doesn't look excessive. These things are stamped steel and they often have a little runout. Thats not wobbling around like its bent though.

      Ok thanks, needed to hear that. Still getting to know these cars more, not sure what’s normal and what isn’t.

        +1 that's about normal for these.
