which is uncalled for at this point. I admit, I succumbed to a bit of "Forum-Rage" there. And for that I apologize. But there was no need to start up yet ANOTHER post to raz on AshZ. : almost two years ago when you hooked us up with your "buddy" at a local shop in your area called Apex Motorsports. A fair number of us were left empty handed with no AVC-Rs from the so-called GROUP BUY, and all you did was just shrug your shoulders. Thanks. : I, and probably many others here (I was not alone here in that situation), haven't forgotten about that. : What does that have to do with underdrive pulleys... absolutely nothing. But it might give you an impression of how I weigh your opinions here. :-) : The fact that YOUR engine hasn't shown any bearing wear doesn't prove a G#$D^%N thing. Maybe you were lucky. Statistics are just mathematical probabilities. Some people are on top of the bell curve, some are in front, some behind.
: : There isn't any concrete hard evidence that supports Ashe's theory that the UD pulley cause premature bearing failure.
: : The UD pulley has been used on Z for the past 5 or 6 years . There hasn't been any single instance of bearing failure attributed to the pulley. There have been spun bearings, but these occur on cars with our w/out the UD pulley.
: : BTW, I when I rebuilt my engine @ 60K for internal mods. My bearings looked immacutlate. No abnormal wear on the main or rod bearings. They almost looked new. I drove my car hard the last 20K with the UD pulley.
: : So there is more evidence that UFO's and BigFoot exists than the alleged problem with the UD pulley on the Z. Can't speak for other engines or cars. Just going from personal experience and track history of the UD pulley on Z the past five years.
