I have replaced and tested 4 of the 5 pulley`s custom I plan to change out..Just tested the accessory tonight for fit and function.. All perfect fit and function..Even though I had no noticable noise at this point, all the pulley`s and belt run a lot smoother/quiter now..

First, I changed Idler, then the water pump pulley, S/C tensioner pulley and finally the accessory idler pulley..

Going to work on eliminating the S/C clutch and make a smaller S/C pulley.. Custom pulley fees add up but well worth it for me at the end of the day..I really like custom high quality billet pulley`s on my ride and with high speed bearings, can sleep well now.. Also going to have made a custom S/C tesnioner made soon. Few details to work out.. I want some belt slip but still getting more than I can live with..

Right when I just put the crack pipe down and thought the ole addiction was over- u had to show me all this stuff... Looks good!! Might have to see your idea with sc clutch is going to be

Nice stuff. Is that sand in your engine bay? At first I thought it was metal shavings but its sort of tanish color

That's some really nice and high quality pieces. Are they available to the public or one off made for you?

Damn. I kinda would really like a set.

I always collected dirt in those grooves and lips.

curious about your clutch idea as well...what would the benefit be of eliminating clutch?

Yes, I opened up some vents in my bottom engine bay shield , as I saw a Cl65 was done this way from the factory.. Now that it has snowed in Houston 3 times this year, they throw fricking sand all over the road.. At least the new slotted pulleys should keep the sand moving.. Going to close vents back up, as my engine is getting nasty and sure don1t want all this Billet and Carbon fiber getting dirty..lol

I know they have a few S/C idlers in stock and the other pulley`s they said they would take orders on any of them , since they have drawings now.. I am still suprised that these MB pulleys seem to have so many failures.. My other pulley`s did not seem to be bad or noisy but after taking them off and spinning them by hand, could hear gridning factory bearings..

Cal1 was kind enough to ship me his S/C pulley clutch assembly to help the cause.. I have to thank him for the donation to the cause. Next, I will have to go to ASP and beg them to do another custom part for me.. Will let everyone know if it works and if the ECU likes it..
