[TR] crank pulley

[KingsCreekTrees at aol.com]

Hi all;
 
I take the middle ground here. My opinion is that, as Randall says, the  
pulley's likely to last for the remainder of your driving season. As Bob  
suggests, it could suddenly get worse and then it could easily lead to  
catastrophic failure.
 
Because I love driving my car so much, I'd probably keep going until the  
end of the season, knowing something dramatic might happen and being ready  
for the potential of vast expense and inconvenience. If you're more of a  "do 
it by the book" guy, maybe more into preservation than driving it for 
today,  then parking it would be the right option.
 
As for Bob's comment on an electric fan: While the front apron was off to  
renew the rattly timing chain, I had the radiator recored with a thicker 
core  & no starting handle hole, fitted the Moss TR6 fan conversion and 
installed  a BPNW uprated water pump. The result is amazing; no more cooling issues 
at all.  And no electrical connections to go wrong on the way to the 
fan....Just my  opinion!
