Re: HB & Pulley Assembly & Crank Sensor
Hey, Taz, I'd have to find my invoice but best
I recall was the $500 was for the combo of
HB plus pulley assembly so that it was one new
integrated unit, as well as a new crank sensor
plus bolt, which are best at any such damage stage, to replace...
Now, whereas hammering ain't recommended,
here on our site "we" are discussing and informing ourselves, SO THAT we can demand in future of our mechanics, w h a t it is we both know of the product, and request they do, SO THAT we aren't stuck in Timbuk-tu with a broken down SC,
since according to Murphy's Law, these things never break down when at home in the convenience of our carports...lol!
And Raj, I believe in setting up working relationships
with key support personnel, who then get to know
"my" requirements, one of which is, NEVER use air
on my rims: Manual torqueing only! And because I
know when they did use air:
Car weight centeredness is lost when driving!!!
Becomes evident fast, especially because I
furthermore, get "performance alighnments" done,
attaining zero-state centered mass steering,
isolating thereby any and all mechanical deviations
from the ideal norm......
Lastly, we want our guys to demand care in playing
with the HB because the factory nose piece can't
handle the stresses of forced entry, like hammering,
and will accelerate wear plus breakdown. AND,
Dr Fred was sharing that from his greater experience
than yours, this is mandated, and 2ndly, a one-use
application. If u get more life than that. Great, but
quit playing dumb that the others will also...!!!
AND: I didn't because my mechanics were stupid
and lazy. But they won't do it again, now that
I know what I know. And I want the rest of our
troops likewise to know...!
Lastly, Bill, this prob is unique to supercharged
engines only. So go back to sleep, it doesn't
apply to your engine, u lucky guy...!!!
Peace, virgil
P: Anyone from Canada contemplating purchasing
"The Final Solution" HB from BHJ have to realize
they'll face U.S. exchange plus PST, GST, and
duty therein driving up the cost towards $700...!
But remember, it is a permanent fix !!!
