vernier pullies (chocolate or not)

[hybridhughes]

i have bought a set of kent rn2002 cams and pullies, i have heard so many horror stories about there pullies, just want to know if they are the lesser quality ones, also if they are would i be ok with them as i only do very little mileage and some trackdays, can anyone give me an indication as to how much more power i will gain with the cams the car made 161bhp and 142 lbs ft of torque already on rs tunings rrd but have yet to fit the cams.


any help/ideas would be great

i've seen a few fail but loads that haven't also...should be ok but can never tell..swapped mine as i got some cat cams cheap but would of run mine otherwise..

Mine failed.... D'Oh



You need to make sure that the bolts are thread locked... as I think mine worked loose....

Also the latest kent pullies seem to have different bolts... might be worth double checking before you fit them...

there the older type 'chocolate' pulleys!

they now have a revised set although no idea how good they are!

[hybridhughes]

so if i loctite the bolts then fingers crossed i should be ok?

[MAXIBOY]

make sure there the 12.9 type torque to 14nm and loctite..

then keep your fingers crossed

i sent mine back and they came back with new harder bolts!

[hybridhughes]

so is it worth me taking the bolts to my local nut/bolt suppliers and ask them for some uprated bolts the same? then a few gallons of loctite lol

[MAXIBOY]

yes mate and replace the missing cup too.
