I wasnt doing it for any of those reasons. Just trying to reduce rotating mass. As for theFan , I use Flexalite, Didnt know I could redline at 12k, I think the alternator can keep up with 100 Watts in light and a 100W stereo, #4? I doubt #5 is a good reason and I do admit you have a point on #6

Well that was informative. I have used aftermarket pulleys on different cars for years with only positive results. I wish I had done more research on the 7mge crank length before doing this. Looks like its a problem for Subaru Boxer engines as well. Being a BMW owner , I always heard that...

I have an OBX underdrive pulley but the company stated that stock belts would work, this is not the case. Does anyone have the #'s for unorthodox sizes? The pulleys look identical so im sure those belt sizes will work.

got it, just took a tiny bit off the pulley where the woodruff key goes and it fit like a champ, thanks for the votes of confidence.

That wasnt the answer I was looking for but i figured it out. The woodruff key is too large. I just need to file 1/2 a mm off of it.

I ordered ann OBX underdrive pulley for my 88 NA and it will not go over the crank nose. Any advice? Anyone else have problems with these?

I'm gonna start a new thread about this. I have first hand used his products (not this one) and attest to the quality of the product. I was making 4psi on an escort GT (1.8BP mazda engine, same as the miata for those of you not familiar) THis looks like a complete bolt on package that should...

Definitely both cam seals and the front main seal. Oil pump seal seemed fine.

I see that these radiator pipes for the 7mge cost $85 and up. i see the MKIV ones on ebay for $35 shipped. Just wondering how close of a fit they are. It looks like they could be cut to fit...

THinking about going with a 12Lb Aluminum Driveshaft. How hard is the stock one to remove?

About damn time. i changed the 4 front seals yesterday and I have the dryest driveway in town :) Now I can get out and enjoy this thing again. I also feel pretty confident about using mobil 1 synthetic as long as that rear main seal holds up :)

Turned out to be the cam seals. I ordered all new seals for $10 from ebay and will have to put them in this weekend.

Does the balance shaft have to be in a certian position? Reason i am asking is bacause I am changing my front main seal today and I know the baance shaft is going to turn. Are there any marks to line it up?

Yesterday I changed my front main seal and today its dripping just as bad as before. i checked the cam seals while I was in there and everything looked fine. The old seal was obvoiusly cracked and broken so that was definitely the problem. Guess i gotta do it again next weekend, any advice to...

Actually, it would be pretty inexpensive to supercharge a 7mGE. I supercharged an Escort GT by pulling the AC compressor and put an Eaton M62 in its place running off of the PS/AC belt belt. There is plenty of room for an M62 in place of either the A/C or PS unit (more room on the AC compressor...

I bought them used from someone here on the board.

Bought the Dough Thorley headers from yankiwi last night and Installed them today. Had to extend my exhaust by 2" and move the speedo cable but otherwise they went right on. Very impressive, i have to agree that this is the best designed header for the 7mge and I recomend them to anyone thinking...
