I sold 1 -164mm , 8-178mm & 4-182mm This year. . No Fluiddampr part number. I'm the sole retailer , I have the pulley's built at a different vendor & Put the sub assys together At my shop, They are checked for run out , Then Shipped. I had one returned for oil leak at the seal area . It was a installer issue and I showed it in the W-211 AMG thread.

These are heaver than The OEM HB. Because of the SFI certified Construction & The silicone fluid. but Control NVH ( Noise- Vibration - Harshness ) is Superior & much better than the Rubber dis-coupled OEM Type or the Light-weigh alum. Rubber dis-coupled assys are prone to deterioration & separation . And that is a known fact. I looked at a lot of designs , from Pinned Pulleys to welded on pulleys , to interchangeable , bolted on pulleys. Six counter sunk
8mm cap screws ( grade 12.9) to clamp the blower drive pulley to a large diameter 155 MM Hub centric , not the small 55 MM center hole for access to the hole down bolt. This controls the lateral movement , Thats 70 MM of surface area verse 490 mm . Thats 700% more contact.
Why Shoulder bolts instead of more cap screw, You need more surface area to control the radial movement between the 2 assembled pieces ( Pulley & HB )
Not only do you get more clamp area under the wide head , but the contact area inside of the 3 holes is smooth. NO cutting action from the sharp threads of the 6 cap screws. Why is there twisting , you 8 cylinders firing to twist the Crank , you got a heavy load from the Kompressor engaging & disengaging plus a much larger 8 poly vee kompressor drive pulley adding into the load the HB is getting. Plus there is 3 holes for the use of the OEM holding fixture. No Need to use a Flywheel clamp tool or special Build holding fixture . The Fluidampr also helps kept the Valve train under control, Like valve bouncing on the seat .That's why I'm a NVH type of Guy. Cheers _PTEngineering

Sorry I miss this [/U][/B]
Pat, what are those 3 holes in the pulley face? Do these install with the oem style crank pulley holder or do you need to lock the flywheel to install?
Sorry for the late reply ,Those 3 holes are for the MB Holding Fixture. Two People work the best using The Harmonic Balancer Holding Tool/ Fixture
When I'm doing the install by myself & Have extra time I use the Flywheel holding Fixture,
BTW I sold all the HB's . Just have the Wtr pump pulley left
