i know! like where the fuck did it go?! but im sure they just didnt put one back in when they put it back together...im just wondering how the hell they made it get so bad in the first place....the bolt prob came loose and it wobbled around for a while and chewed up the inside of the pulley hole. good thing is though, as much as it looks like it spun around the crank, all the damage is to the pulley. the crank looks fine as far as spinning damage goes. the keyway is a whoooole nother story



but since the bottom end is fucked anyways, im going to try and grab my buddies miller mig welder tomorrow and a new pulley and key and hope for the best lol. but seriously, ive welded this exact same one on a kids eg civic 4 door, single came (exact same shit as mine) when i worked at tires plus. his bolt came loose and chewed everything up. so i told him he needed a new engine. well long story short, he didnt want to so i presented an option of welding a new pulley and key on and then smoothing the welds out a little and cranking the bolt back down. i warned him it may or may not work. but he said ok so i welded it all up and he drove it for 3 months before i quit there and then i seen him again about 2 years later, still driving it like that, thanking me and shit lol i was very suprised. cause he ran the shit out of this peice of shit 4 door automatic. like redline at every redlight and straight 2 1/2 inch exhaust with no muffler....god, that thing was fucking horrible.


but thats my little welding pulley story i thought i would share with everyone...yes, i know its ghetto. but at least i got a chance to test it out on someone elses car first!
