The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Threaded 2-piece crankshaft pulley

Years ago,I had a bad knock at the front of the engine & it turned out to be the notched 2-piece pully.Some are not made very well & are a fraction too short,so when the nut is tightened the pulley is still not tight.A thin washer with the ID of the CS could be placed behind the nut to tighten it.As for me,I like to use the 1-piece pulley. If I was to use a 2-piece pully,I think I would use the LH threaded type & use some blue loktite on the threads& when its set up then tighten the ratchet.
