Major Ledfoot Comparing prices: Nordic Car Parts, double row : 193.60 Euro (about $278 AUD) Classic Swede, double row : 150 GBP (about $292 AUD) KL Racing, double row : 895 SEK (about $137 AUD)
VPT02 Yep, can confirm that Sweden is the place for these. Out of KL Racing there are a handfull of companies offering pulleys...haha may be they come all from the same manufactorer
Major Ledfoot Heh, that's possible, but there's a big difference in prices if so. @VPT02 do you keep any in stock over this side of the pond?
VPT02 Well not at the moment as the call for the older classics parts is very low compared to the newer Volvo's....for me anyway but can always help out where possible...group buy thinking.
deleted_user_160 Quote from one up the above links. Many of the automotive 4-cylinder engines don’t require such an absorber, primarily because of their inherently higher stiffness-to-mass ratios. However, several automotive manufacturers have initially omitted a torsional absorber from early engine runs, only to find that crankshaft life was unacceptably short. The Nissan folks discovered this with the early 240-Z engines, which didn’t have an absorber, and therefore lasted only about 100 hours in automotive (i.e. VERY LIGHT DUTY) service. Me personally wanted to go this route, however being a mid thrust engine, there is crank play. I didn't want to increase such issue and lead to failures.

A_Volvo_Driver When installing one of those KL racing pulleys, what belts are required? I'm assuming that the stock belts would suddenly be too big?
