So I got my 1j started and running but I noticed that the crank pulley was wobbling so now I need a new one but 275 for one seems really steep. I found one on amazon for 55 bucks here it is should I go with the cheap one or should I be wary of the 200 dollar price difference?

I bought a cheap new aftermarket pulley and after just a few hundred miles, the rubber started coming off and sticking out of the pulley. So far after a year, it's still held together, but I still would not recommend buying aftermarket pulleys.

I had to bite the bullet and paid $400 for mine at the dealer.
Had to drive home the next day and the 4 junk yards I tried none of them had one in acceptable condition for the $250 asking price they wanted.

I'm glad at the very least the one thing I don't have to worry about is it being a faulty pulley. But I had plans for that money and wish I could get it back.

Ask yourself a few questions...

Are you going to own this car in the long run? How many miles do you put on your car annually?

I went the cheap route and bought a used oem one for $60 from a club lexus member. Sure, it might last....5 years...but in reality, will you own this car or put 10,000's of thousands of miles annually on the next crank pulley?

Im running a 1jz crank pulley on my 2jzge...no issues, besides its the 3rd crank pulley the car has seen.

My advice is spend the money on a good one. You can never tell when a used one will go bad. I have changed mine 3 times in the 5 years I have owned my car. The third time I bit the bullet and got a fluidampr . I figure if I ever sell the car I can swap it with a used one and sell it back. I prefer spending the money and having piece of mind that it wont go bad on me suddenly.
