Question about Vibration - Honda Prelude Forum

Prelude004 · 02-25-2002, 01:59 PM

I just had a problem with two of my spark plug wires popping up...which wasnt hard to fix but I was looking arond in my engine bay and it looks like my underdrive pully wobbles a little bit. Is this normal? It seems like my engine vibrates a little more than it used to but i dont know. I am probably just being compulsive about this...the cars my baby.

my pullies don't wobble at all, maybe you can fix it.

Prelude004 · 02-25-2002, 07:50 PM

acutally its just the crankshaft pulley...is that normal?

Well, I'm by no means an expert at car stuff. In fact, I'm probably a (edit: haha, they filtered out the word n 0 0 b. Oh well) newbie at this, but did you get a new Harmonic Damper to go with that crankshaft underdrive pulley? I've heard that crankshaft pullies don't work with the stock damper and you need to get a new one or else you're going to mess up the engine. Sorry I can't be more specific as to what 'mess up' means, but I don't know

its a stock pulley...can anyone take a look at their pulley and please just check and see if maybe it wobbles a little bit. Thank you so much.

Ahh, stock pulley. I guess I just misread. Glad to hear that, I hate to see a member mess up their car

Yah I didnt get the aftermarket one because i didnt want anything to get messed up...does your pulley move around at all or does it spin perfectly straight?

I would check, but right now my car's up on all 4s on jack stands and isn't in running condition. I'm afraid to crank it up right now because I've got so many parts off

Hmm, this is weird. Maybe for some reason they did not put enough torque on that pulley bolt from the factory? You are still under warrenty right? Take it to Honda and have them make sure it is flush and then retorque it to spec.
