Sr20 Crank Pulley Wobble - Normal?

[GripSpec]

While performing some regular maintenance last weekend, I noticed that my crank pulley exhibits a noticeable "wobble" at idle. Here is a summary of what I see, and I'd like to get some opinions:

-The SR crank pulley is made up of three separate "pulleys"
-The pulley farthest from the motor that powers the power steering pump looks completely straight and true, while the 2 pulleys closest to the motor exhibit a wobble.
-I am not running a/c (like most SR owners) so the center pulley is not connected to a belt.


I am wondering if this wobble is created by the fact that there is no a/c belt present. As I said, the movement is noticeable in both the ac pulley, and the water pump/ alternator pulley. However, the end of the pulley that runs the PS belt looks completely tight and staight. Very confusing.


So, this leads to my question: how big of an issue is this? Is this common on SR's because of the lack of A/c belt putting pressure on the center pulley, or is this a big problem? I worry that this constant wobble could start to wear down my bearings/crank. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your input!

have you had the crank shaft pulley off before. it may not be torqued to spec and may be loose.

Nope, I've never had the pulley off before. If that was the case I feel like the whole pulley (including the outermost portion) would be off balance as well.

I have mine off while building my motor and replacing it with an ATI unit. I could do some measurements or something for you if you want. If there is a problem with yours I could sell you mine for a good price also.
