Hey I got this kit and I installed it today and the crank pulley is scraping the engine block. Doesn't seem to be enough clearance. The stock pulley seems to stick out further and have a beveled offset as the nst one does not. I contacted nst via email and am waiting for a response. But am looking for any help on this and will probably miss work tomorrow cuz of it. It's cold and dark out, I live in ny and really don't feel like putting the stock one back on right now. Is anyone using these pulleys? Am I missing a bushing or something it seemed wrong just bolting this on without a bushing or anything. Idk any help would be great. Thanks

you have a choice of putting the stock one back on and going to work but is choosing to miss work?

Yeah, borrowed a car for the day guess I'm going to put the stock back on tomorrow. Things just not going right for me I bought a weapon r intake manifold and that install was a fail too, seems to be missing coolant and vacuum lines so all together I'm in 900$ on parts that not working for me. But I did get my test pipe and greddy supreme which sounds really good.

I feel you man. instead of justnspace, my car friends call me "JustonJacks" cuz my car is ALWAYS on jack stands!

i recently bought a wrong part, instead of the drivers side air mix motor, i blindedly bought the passenger side...and couldnt figure out why it wasnt bolting right up... silly me!
always best to give yourself time to inspect the parts before tearing her down!

Yeah I feel you my friends always wondering why my bumper is off the car.. like um I'm working on it talked to nst they told me to send some pics and they're going to work on a solution.. replacement or something . I'm happy with the response. Just gotta see if I can get this thing back on tonight.

btw; honda fixed their pulley system with a shim.
just giving you an idea, if NST cant pull anything together. a shim or spacer will allow some clearance...
(I dont know what engine we're talking about here)

Lol I tried a shim it pushed it too far and the belt was coming off. I think its going to be hard to get it out now. It's a k24z3.
