Scotty can you talk about lightweight aluminum crank pullies in a video some people say that they cause crank/bearings to wear out others say they’re fine and a cheap way to free up some horsepower thanks. I just put one on my accord one mechanic even refused to install it because he said it would destroy my engine! Stock pulley is 7 lbs the aluminum one from Unorthodox Racing is 0.8 lbs

I find a lot of them might tell you steps 1 and 2, skip steps 3 and 4 then they cut to the job being done and say "There you go it's done, like and subscribe" and you're like "Uh.....Okay I'm lost because you skipped most of the steps just showed the first part and when you had finished it up...." 😂 With Scotty however, he tells everything you need to know, it's great! Some of these KZbinrs don't tell you everything you need to know....Scotty is very good at explaining and breaking things down so it's easy to understand! 😁

Quick Tip: Keep the old belt in the car (in the trunk) in case you have a problem. Maybe even a simple socket set too so you can install the belt if yours breaks while on the road. In most vehicles, you can install a fan belt with minimal fuss (cars it's a bit harder because the engine compartment is smaller and things are crammed in more, plus they are generally transverse). A good sepentine belt will probably run you about $50-80. Don't buy the cheap $20 belts. You get what you pay for and they likely could break within a few years, and obviously, at the most inconvenient time. Just spend the extra money. It's something you replace every 8-10 years and could become a safety thing if your vehicle stalls because the belt breaks. Not worth it to save $50. Top Gear has gone down hill since they started spinning off the original BBC one with Clarkson, Hammond and May. I mean the one with Wood, Fererra and and Faust is OK but after that it's sort of gotten dumb, sort of like the FAst and Furious over the years. It was good for a few movies, but after that it was the same thing over and over again, different crew and location.

Hi Scotty, should the tensioner be changed too while changing the belt? Some brands (BMW) recommend that. Probably not a bad idea as the tensioner is a moving part and can definitely wear out.

Only if it's loose. You can easily tell if it's still working or not. But no, definitely don't change a part that's still working fine.

@The Duke, when I went through automotive repair training back in 1988-1990 the automobile industry was intentionally engineering vehicles more difficult to eliminate the "Shade Tree Backyard Mechanic" as the Dealerships were only making money from vehicle sales and warranty maintenance/repairs once the warranty ran out people would work on their own vehicles and this would cost national automobile repair chains money on repairing vehicles when the warranty expired. The two collaborate to prevent you from working on your own vehicle. Even the repair manual you get at the parts store like Haynes is condensed and not fully explanatory like Chilton's Professional Manual that is now only available on CD Rom for your computer or downloadable from their website for a fee.

@@charlesdickens6706 I haven't been on Chilton's website for awhile so the professional repair manuals might be free to the public whereas they used to be only free as a professional courtesy to automotive repair centers. I still like the books though and look to buy them online and since I'm an antique, vintage and classic car enthusiast I look for the Chilton's Professional Manual going back in years as far as I can find available.

Thanks for this advice, Scotty. I have to change one on my 2007 Tacoma since it has 80,000 miles. It doesn't have any visible cracks but its the original one. I am fortunate this thing hasn't come apart on our move from Mississippi to Arizona in 2023. Its ultra dry here and it could happen anytime. I don't want a breakdown in town. Its expensive here to take a chance if i can fix it now.
