Nah, some of us will be looking for the $ to fix the carnage from our first shattered crankshaft. And another solid pulley. LOL."

How is this related to YOUR financial status (presumed or otherwise)? I said "some of us", which is the same group you addressed in this post:

"What happens when we run out of old OEM pulleys? I assume you're all going to be in line for the $1k aftermarket pulley?".

"....you're all going...." didn't include you. My use of "....some of us...." refers to the same group as "....you're all...." Since you were not part of the "....you're all...." group, you aren't part of the "....some of us...." group, either.

So, my conclusions about the nature of your posts is accurate, but my characterization of your comments is incorrect? Please quote your own posts (and mine, if appropriate) and explain how your words should be interpreted differently than I have done.

I called you out on your posts because of the nature of your comments. Yes, others have posted in support of solid pulleys. They didn't deny there was evidence that solid pulleys could be hazardous to an engine's health. Nor did they ridicule the information/evidence presented by those who advised running a damper.

"In the real world, your car would be fine." Post #23 on 3/11/2012 in response to OP asking if a particular amount/pattern of driving on the highway would cause damage. Pretty clear you are telling him his car would be fine in the real world with a solid pulley. If that isn't advocating he use a solid pulley, what is it?

"I've yet to find indisputable evidence that proves solid pulleys will destroy cranks, so until I do I'm not going to bother swapping mine out." And what did you say when the "indisputable evidence" was presented to you in this thread (by others and me)? You posted about putting a damper on when you shattered a crank. You asked if "you're all" going to line up for $1k dampers". And, when I made a joke in answer to your question, you took it as a "personal insult". There were at least 4 posts ( 20,33,79, 115) made PRIOR to your "I'll swap back to OEM after I shatter a crank." post. If all you wanted was "indisputable evidence", why did you not only ignore it but ridicule it when it was presented to you?

Again, as in my previous post, I ask you to quote your and my posts with an explanation of where and how I have been incorrect. Please.

After "indisputable evidence" was presented to me I did not advocate for anyone else to run the solid pulley. Not that the majority of it was new information to me, but that this thread is months & months old. Whatever decision the OP had to make he has long since done so, and probably doesn't even check this thread anymore.

I have never disputed the information posted by the majority in this thread. I don't argue the benefits of a dampening pulley. In my infamous post #2, I said that I'd yet to find indisputable evidence against a solid pulley. This post cannot be used in this argument because it was posted before anyone else posted, and before you & others presented your research and findings in this thread.

You conveniently left out any mention of the enlarged text that I quoted in post #157

Coopkill is right. Time to give it a rest. You have declined my invitations to point out where I've been incorrect. You have revised your statements regarding what you knew/advocated when. At the end of the day I'm disappointed we were unable to address my concerns. But no matter. So be it.
