Quick PRW Dampener Question

Quick PRW Dampener Question

I'm in the market for a PRW crank pulley....I have been reading and hearing of "defective" machining on the pulley where it mounts onto the crankshaft snout

My questions are....was there a time frame when all this happened? Was this mainly from one single vendor? Has the issue been corrected?

I don't want to be in the middle of this job and find out that I cannot get the PRW pulley back on the crankshaft

For what it may be worth, or...using the more accurate words -

Dampener - means that the part is doing something.
Damper - means the part itself.

Bryan, you are talking about a "damper".

Well, dampers damp, so then that means dampeners must… dampen? Make things moist?

FWIW, I've done two PRW installs and they both went on without incident.
