Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Will this pulley fit my specific SBC engine with a long water pump?
   This triple groove lower crank pulley is designed for Small Block Chevy engines using a long 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 of all driven accessories. Carefully check the number of grooves and the overall diameter needed. If you’re unsure, compare the dimensions and bolt pattern with your old pulley or consult your engine’s specifications.
2. What is a “long” water pump on an SBC engine?
   Long water pumps were typically used on later Small Block Chevy engines (generally 1969 and newer, but can vary). They have a longer overall length compared to the earlier “short” 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, potentially leading to issues like undercharging from the alternator, insufficient power steering or A/C performance, or overheating. The wrong groove type will not properly engage with your belts, 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. Proper alignment of all pulleys is crucial for multi-belt systems.

   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of automotive cooling system components throughout South Africa.
