Do You Think It's Wise To....?

Seeing the other question in this forum about crank pulley balancing made me think back to a hare-brained idea I had a little while ago.

Most people here know that I'm not running power steering on my H22. This means that I've got a spot on my crank pulley that's not doing anything. It's on the outside of the pulley, obviously, so I got it in my head that, I could get myself an extra crank pulley, take it to a machine shop and have them remove that portion of the pulley to free up some rotating mass, then make sure the pulley is balanced. I know, it MIGHT be only a pound or so, but hey, it's still a pound or so less of stuff I'm using power to turn. In my poor I-can't-afford-a-turbo world, these little things help.

So my question is, would this be safe to do? Assuming the machine shop could get it balanced, I wouldn't see the harm in doing this. Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

i think inlinefour.com will do this for you. atleast i think they will for a b series, and i would assume its the same for h series.

Make sure they know what they are doing though.

Yep, just found that about 30 seconds before you posted the link. I've emailed them and asked them if they can work on H-series pulleys, since they've only got B-series listed.

Thanks y0.
