Question Harmonic Balancing Pulley.

Is the TL engine internally or externally balanced? The reason I ask is because I plan on putting in the UR crank pulley and need to know if I have to mess with the Harmonic balancing pulley.

I don't really have a clue what to look for and I can't find anything in the owners manual. Time to buy the helms manual I guess. Thanks guys.

There is no harmonic balancing pulley on the TL. Just buy the UR pulley and put it on. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks to both of you. And definitely you Kris. I was waiting for your answer on this one. i just needed to know because the man that is going to help me would not until he found that out.

Hopefully the pulley will be on by the end of the week!

Werd.

Installation is a PITA though. Make sure the person installing your pulley has a crank pulley tool (to get the OEM Crank Pulley off).

The person(s) are myself and a friend's father. He probably does not have that tool.

This is one job that even Kris agrees - major pain and major potential for personal injury!!
Let the local Acura specialist shop do it- there is one in every town- look for performance and import/sports shops, ask any kid with a loud muffler and dropped springs where to go.
Normal charge is about 1 hour labor @ $60 and you can buy the correct new size belt from Excellerate when you order the pulley. Make a note ON the car-maybe on the strut tower of the new belt number for any future owner.
UR crank pulley-Well worth the small investment for amount of fun derived
Get a K&N air filter to feed the engine more air too.

I have the pulley and the belt already. Just waiting to work with my friends father. He's been working on cars since his teens, so I am not worried about his experience. He claims he will know what to do no problem. Personal injury does scare me though....
