Early symptom of crankwalk or not???

[GsxProject]

I've started my car up after letting it sit over the winter and noticed that the crank pulley is wobbling! My question is if this is an early symptom of crankwalk or not. The car idles fine and it's doesn't seem to be affecting the way the car runs or drives. Also i took a pry bar to see if it the bolts were loose but the pulley didn't budge out of place, but my biggest concern is if this symptom is crankwalk or just a couple of bolts loose??

The crank pulley is 2 pieces with a rubber damper in between the two. You need to replace the crank pulley before it causes other problems.

Agreed. Replace your crank pulley asap before the two rubber pieces separate. Is it a common failure on 2g's and is not related to crankwalk.

Alternative to going to the dealership.

I'd pay $2.00 more and order from JNZ

I got mine off ebay, works great and was at least $30 cheaper.

I went with an underdrive pulley instead and i suffer no side effects and dont have to worry about a pulley separating anymore.

That's exactly what I did, I got a uderdrive pulley and put it on. Now my soul is at ease, thought that would've been the death sentence for my engine. Thanks a lot guys!

Underdrive pullies that lack a damper are bad. Science and experience backs this up.
