A chip on my pully, normal? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Cyau · 12-31-2013, 06:22 PM

It's a stock pully from factory, never touched it. If you look at the pictures, the white is actually some kind of paint, the actual chip is on the edge of the pully. Can anyone check if yours has the same chip? Or is the pully not suppose to have any kind of chip at all...

That's the alignment mark used to install the pulley. Normal

you must have eagle eyes to have noticed that!

lol I got lucky the pully stopped at that position, and noticed it

It's a timing mark, and those numbers behind it are a scale (in degrees) for checking ignition timing (or at least that's what it looks like to a guy from the days of carbs and distributors). It's normal, and nothing to be worried about.

DANG ..... @Cyau ...... you're looking at your car too hard ....

Yep, @roddy, back in the day, it could have been a timing mark.

BTW, roddy, do you still have your timing light, dwell meter and feeler gauge .. ?? ....

Need the feelz to check the valves on my bikes. They aren't that modern like.
Dwell meter... think I might have one. Can't imagine where I put it last though.
Timing light makes a great strobe for raves 8)

as stated above, that's the timing mark to check your ignition timing against the marks on the crankcase

Yep, sure do. You forgot the ever useful vacuum gauge. Sigh...I miss the old days sometimes.

Has anyone mentioned that it's a timing mark yet? Because it is.

Evil Jesus · 01-01-2014, 10:02 PM

You're all wrong. It's the timing mark.
