Reicard 2.75 and Billetflow idlers (new)

[finally]

Just got the modified idlers from Billetflow installed along with the 2.75 non-slip pulley. Thought someone might like some pics. Thanks to Rick and Linn for the chip work. I'll probably re-dyno next week. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet as we are in a fhunderstorm warning right now. Thanks to Ken at Billetflow for the quick turnaround on the idlers.

Another.

Man that engine is absolutely beautiful, man. Really nice work, and the Reichard pulley looks great too by the way, although I am unsure about an aluminum pulley...have heard mixed reviews about them.

Looks good . . .

BTW, is one of your PCV/vacuum lines disconnected? (Going to the TB boot)

nothing wrong with it as long as you don't intend on ever removing it (and using it again)... :rollseyes

Let us know what you think about that set up. I am waiting for my Reichard pulley.

 

[finally]

Yeah, was just checking the gap on the plugs again.

 

[NastyWS6]

Looks very good

Man that looks GREAT !

 

[OverToad]

It looks great.

But I question the removal potential of an aluminum pulley. Has anyone tried to REMOVE the reichart pulley yet?

 

[FlashSVT]

While not the RR specifically, I have removed several aluminum pulleys on '03 Cobras and Gen2 Lightnings. The PulleyBoys 3-Bolt Puller works flawlessly. Use a little Anti-Seize on the blower snout shaft and you'll be fine.

Amen to that......

But why would an aluminum pulley be so hard to get out? I mean it went on like butter... Shouldn't it come off like butter too? Never had to remove mine so I don't know yet.

How did you do that to your blankey? Is that an after market one? Have you seen significant increases in hp?:beer:

 

[HotRodHarry]

That looks real nice!!! Let me know how that upper blower pulley works. The blower pulley looks alot larger than the 2.80 SFPHQ one I have. Must be the natural aluminum that does that. Again..just awesome!!!

That pulley is pressed on, there is going to be alot of force exerted on that pulley when removing it... I have never removed an aluminum pulley(plenty of steel pulleys), so I can not testify as to whether or not it will break. There have been several threads on this matter, some have broken/and or warped their pulleys during removal.

Don't plan on removing the pulley unless it ever has to go back to the dealer, then only maybe. Haven't even driven it yet, still raining down here in Florida. I used black engine paint on the blanket and red plasti-kote on the letters. I'll post some dyno numbers when I get back to the Dynojet.

nice setup you have.which belt are you using and what is the belt size.
