Introduction to Stock Pulleys
Stock pulleys are essential components used to help synchronize timing in engines like the VW aircooled. These pulleys are usually made from steel, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel and come in different shapes and sizes to allow for different types of installations. Pilot holes, tap bolts, and QD bolts can be used for installation. Additionally, they are typically available as a flanged pulley for an easy installation.
Product Selection Criteria
When selecting stock pulleys, it’s important to consider the different standards available. European standards and American standards are the two most common, and they both have their own unique specifications. Additionally, the shape of the tooth and the size of the installation hole are important to consider for proper functioning. Finally, the type of material used and whether it is a flanged pulley are important to look at before purchasing.
Installation and Maintenance
Installing stock pulleys is usually a simple process. Depending on the type of installation, the pulley can simply be bolted on or require a bit more effort. Additionally, timing belts are also available and can be used in conjunction with the pulley for optimal performance. For maintenance, it is important to regularly inspect the pulley for wear and tear. If necessary, replacement of the pulley may be necessary.
