But if I had a lighter pulley that was dampened or balancer adequately the mod would be useful, you think? Remember that I have to remove the pulley, anyway, to do the timing belt. And I would be replacing a pulley that must be quite heavy, with useless PS and AC spaces on it. I bet it would be very hard to find a pulley light enough and well balanced for cheap enough to make it seem like a good idea.
