March Pullys - Idler pully question

[vortecfiero]

I have the serpentine conversion kit and the lower alternator kit.
the idler pully is not ball bearing - just a steel sleeve in alum. pully
for the bolt to go through and spin on. Im worried it will wear out fast.

Anyone experience this ?

Weird, mine has a bearing in it.
I bought it so long ago though, I don't remember if it came with it or if I removed the bearing from the stock pulley & installed it into the March pulley.

I purchased the 725 (idler) & 710 (tensioner) pulleys when I bought the reduction pulley set.

Re: March Pullys - Idler pully question

this was nagging at me because March have a solid reputation
and so does the guy that recommend it to me.

I pulled it apart.. i guess the shop that sold it to me checked to make sure
all the stuff was there and also did some partial assembly, which they told
me they did, and from the outside it does look like just a bushing in a plastic
pulley. The Plastic looking pulley is actually aluminum that has a grey power coat
and there is defiantly a bearing in there. :tup:
Phew.
