wobbly crank

Murderjetz · August 19th, 2007, 03:16 AM

i was looking at my engine while it was running today for some reason, and i noticed that my crank pulley wiggles a bit as it turns. is this normal?
at least i'm pretty sure it's the crank pulley, its the biggest one of them...towards the bottom, right in the middle.

It's usually just a normal thing, but if you feel unsafe about it, just tighten it down

is it bent, does it cause vibration?

You may want to check the torque specs and make sure it is correct.

it doesnt look bent to me...and i dont know, my whole car usually vibrates a little bit. i don't know where its really coming from but it's always been like that, never struck me as being necessarily bad.

and how do i check the torque specs...?
