Since this thread was dragged back to life, I'm wondering if there is evidence to support this claim? My OEM crank pulley had a rubber isolator, but I couldn't see it really doing anything.

Are aftermarket pulleys known to be hard on rod bearings? I would think the lighter weight alone would make them more gentle on the engine and related bearings.
