yea..i dont know if itll be any better...im wonderin if the sleeve is the same material as the stock pulley..or if they did nething extra for the hardening..im still rollin wit my v2 tho , ill check it when i have access to the tools

 

Hope your dealership is nice. Mine would probably look at it and say I caused the damage while removing it.

 

My dealership would too, how do you bring this problem to their attention? I haven't checked or looked at it yet, but if I tell them about it they would say its because I looked at it. Could I say other people on the forums are having problems with it and I want mine checked out? lol I hate dealerships when it comes to warranties and maintenance.

 

Tell them it's a growing concern and you would like for THEM to look at it so you don't void anything.

 

sry to hear bro. i hope all werked out for you. did you ever reinstall the pulley?

 

This is way old news. It is long been solved. THERE IS NO PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

thats good because i was gonna get one of those for my DE and i have been gone for a long while rock,lol. sry bout bringing this one up but i do also need 50 posts ,lol.

 

It's safe. My wife's had it on her 09 lancer since July of last year. I've had one on my 09 lancer for 2 months.

 

Do i really need an impact wrench? Or can i just strong arm it with a ratchet?

 

anybody have this problem with the 4b12? or did anybody look.
im looking to pick up the pulley for autocross but not sure if theres still a problem with the engine, rather if theres a problem at all with the 4b12 engine.

 

This is a 2 year old problem. NO LEAKS anymore. We use hardened steel sleeve that resolves the issue with the seal. It is No Issue any longer. Solve about 2 years ago.

is the original poster the only person who had this problem? i havent read or heard anywhere else about anyone else who had this problem

 

Same here. I've been running the original RRM pulley for some time now and haven't had any issues with it.

 

The problem is LONG SOLVED. Meaning 2-3 years now. NO leaks what so ever. 100% guarantee on that.

ROAD/RACE

 

Yup, same here. Have it on two cars, no oil leaks. I've also been running the sri on both cars for the same amount of time, no problems there either.
