Re: Under Drive Pulleys..and the problems they cause.
it's not just the issue of oil pumps breaking. It has been said by one builder that engines with small diameter dampeners exhibit abnormal wear wear the oil pump gears contact the crank. I just tore down an engine that had a piggy back setup on it and the crank, which is cast, showed no wear. However, this maybe an anomoly, but I've not seen any wear on the engines that I've taken apart.
There are a sh1tload of people on corral, svtp and mod fords that have small diameter dampeners. This is the only site where the vast majority of members don't recommend them.
Seriously, I know only a few people that have broken oil pump gears and about half ot them had a stock dampener.
