Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Will this pulley fit my specific SBC engine with a short water pump?
   This single groove crank pulley is designed for Small Block Chevy engines using a short water pump. However, it’s essential to ensure the diameter, groove type, and crankshaft bolt pattern match your existing pulley and belt system for proper alignment and function. If you’re unsure, compare the dimensions and bolt pattern with your old pulley or consult your engine’s specifications.
2. What is a “short” water pump on an SBC engine?
   Short water pumps were typically used on earlier Small Block Chevy engines (generally pre-1969, but can vary). They have a shorter overall length compared to the later “long” water pump design, which affects the required pulley offset.
3. What happens if I use the wrong size or groove pulley?
   Using the wrong size pulley can affect the speed at which your accessories operate. The wrong groove type will not properly engage with your belt, leading to slippage and potential damage.
4. Is installation difficult?
   Replacing a crank pulley usually involves removing the harmonic balancer bolt, pulling off the old pulley (sometimes requiring a puller tool), and installing the new one, ensuring it’s properly seated and torqued.
5. Do you ship cooling system parts nationwide in South Africa?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of automotive cooling system components throughout South Africa.
