No spare parts to offer...sorry

I am trying to track failure rates of items. I would guess you are not the happiest camper as of now but perhaps you will shed some light on the variables so I can learn. I visually inspect my engine weekly and still my stock crank pulley just grenaded my engine bay. I feel your pain.

I have a stock SC pulley and 131k miles...but fear the rivets letting go like you experienced.

What are your miles and is that the stock or an aftermarket SC pulley?

Get one of these when you are all back together.

Sucks to keep seeing this happen. Yet people keep buying them. Oh well

another argument for fixed supercharger pulley !

Latemodel21 the person who created the scattersheild, made it because his stock blower pulley exploded so it's not limited to aftermarket pulleys, also I wouldn't touch a fixed pulley, too many issues

Again you have to look at failure rates. Just because a couple out of tens if not hundreds of thousands fail doesn't mean it's the same as 25 out of 100 for example

Hulk 03-02-2017 07:27 PM

Wait wait, I'm not saying that after market have the same failure rates as the stock pulleys but that the stock pulleys do fail also, so IMO a scattersheild would be a insurance against more costly repairs whether you have a stock or aftermarket

Everyone should have a scattershield. It's Cheap built well and easy to install.

I had a pulley blow off my old CL65 back when I owned it, shredded the belt, put the car into total limp mode---lost all the power steering, etc....and WORST, it blasted against the radiator, tearing a huge hole in it, lost all the coolant into the driveway.

Car was "towed" to the shop where it spent 10 days WAITING for them to source me a new radiator from Germany as there were zero in the US inventory at the time.

Oh....and about $3k out of my wallet. One lousy pulley did all that.......when I got my E55, first time in the shop I had them carefully look over all the pulleys for any play, etc. So far so good.
