I put in a question to UR about the steel sleeve and I will let you know what they say. Probably not until Monday at the earliest.

 

ok thats cool! if they dont come with it are we okay?

 

Hey man i checked on ebay to see if anyone was selling any and there were two people sellling them and theres in the pics dont show a steel sleeve either...

 

It's not a seperate piece. UR verified that their pulleys have a steel sleeve stamped into the pulley on the side that contacts the crank oil seal. If the ones you got don't have that, I would be leery. Your call.

 

how would i know? do i need to take a pic of it and show you and you can tell?

 

A close up, profile shot of the crank pulley might help, but from your previous pics, it looks like aluminum. Can you see a seam anywhere, or does it look like there are 2 diferent kinds of metal on it?

 

i will post the detailed pics when i get back for you! I took 6 of them for you! i will be back in like 20 min

 

Ok, I'm leaving for most of the night. I'll check them out either late tonight or tomorrow night.

 

ok well here they are....

 

Man, I really can't tell, but it looks like aluminum only. I can't tell you what to do as I have no idea if/how aluminum reacts with the crank oil seal versus steel. Hopefully someone here can tell us if those should or should not be used. Try calling a dealership and talking to one of the mechanics. They look good though. Looks as though they could be a little oxidized, maybe those are fingerprints. Either way they would look real nice. Hopefully they'll be ok. If I can, I'll find out some info too.

 

use a magnet it the magnet doesnt stick then it is aluminum if it sticks it is steel

 

good idea!

Heikes those are not finger prints....that was on there when i pulled them out of the box. So i guess its the oxidation that they do.

 

They are aluminum.....what issue will i have with this being alluminum?

 

not sure what issues you will have I thought that were aluminum from the start. The UR are aluminum with a steel sleeve just to provide extra strength.

 

yeah i contacted the mechanic from the place i bought these from....I had them call me and he said that i wouldnt have any issues at all. The only reason they do that is just for strength but it wouldnt be an issue unless your pushing a bunch of HP....
