Title: 356/912 Crank pulley
Post by: drgouk on July 25, 2015, 23:58:45 pm
Hello, can someone help me with the differences between a type 1 1600cc crank pulley and a 356/912 crank pulley, other than the pulley diameter and the fact that it's uses a oil seal? Any other differences? Offset?  Looking to use one on an up coming build.  Thanks.

I have noticed they seem to work better with a shim (available from Berg). They are three piece, two halves and a hub. I recommend welding the inner half to the hub like VW did, I've seen a few of the aftermarket ones wallow out the hole.

I don't know anything about a oil seal?

HI Zack, I'm talking about the 356/912 crank pulley.  Not generator pulley. Thanks.

Duuurrrr ::) :D

Is that similar to the Fisher harmonic dampener?

Yes Zack, same principle.  I think it could work well on my 2789cc Pauter cased/jpm head engine. I have to run a small crank pulley to clear the Dailey engineering oil pump.
