So is that for the 6 rib, 8 rib, and idler pullies? If so, that is a pretty good price as ASP has those for sale for $175/each on their website (unless I'm totally missing something). I'll be replacing my pulleys soon as well as the top tensioner just to avoid any issues.

Ah, hence, you would also provide the fourth pulley with a washer so we could swap all the pulleys at once. Make sense. That's what I'll end up doing. I was going to search high and low (well, found info in another thread) for just the pulley replacement instead of the entire unit.

Got a set on both my 63's an E and also aCLK

see now, it wasn't that hard. a sense of humor is good. wait, i am under the impression you were being funny in this post. but, it appears you may be serious. which actually just makes it funnier.we have schools here in the u.s., but you just kind of proved what is wrong with some of them.

Bingo, you are absolutely right, usually filled with french girls who have escaped their dad and came to real Canada. They cannot speak English but boy oh boy can they dance. Told you we had common ground. Best Regards
