First off, about 1 in every 2 RA owners here on Evom (est.) own the RRM Pulley and not once have I seen someone make regards to an issue with the pulley. View the link I have provided.

The pulley that was designed for us was researched and tested and is well constructed.

It's fine. Mine has been on my car for over 60,000 miles and everything runs like it was new. Also, remember that the flywheel side of the engine has NO damping at all, and it's not needed on the front of the engine, either. Our crankshafts are well balanced. If they weren't, no way a pulley with a thin layer of rubber would save them.

mine is great and I run nos ,but if vibrations are going to hurt the motor , motor mounts are equal to a death sentence......and if your worried about it breaking something in 200k, regardless something is going to break and/or fall apart in 200k,I mean come on...
