Great video, two questions; 1. is that woodruff key adjustable? 2. according to instructions you are supposed to use Loctite 660 on the tip of the shaft, why did you skip that?
1: not sure what you mean by adjustable, it’ll move around in the slot if tapped by a hammer but it’s not what I’d call “adjustable” 2: ill have to go re read the directions but I didn’t see a mention of loctite. Regardless, in my experience I’ve removed and installed plenty of harmonic balancers without the use of loctite with none backing off. I service my car every 6 months or so, so I’ll be sure to give it a once over when I’m under there!
@@SEsGaragesorry my english is not good, I meant if it was possible to use a hammer and making it peak more in on the front end, as you said it was possible, mine was sticking out a little bit, but issue solved. I have asked RR about the Loctite
@@SEsGaragesorry, had the old instructions that I found online. The one that came with the box did not instruct to use Loctite in the circumfence of the shaft. All good!
Just installed mine today not hard 2 hours max taking my time it’s even nastier on the RCF being lighter and 2 door I’d assume I broke traction earlier at 3rd gear definitely a must have should have came from factory like this
Great video, thanks again for sharing! Are you located in NJ? I'm over the other side of the Outerbridge. Would you ever be willing to do this mod on my IS 500? I don't feel comfortable doing it myself esp without a lift. I'd even be okay with you filming it if you wanted to put it on your channel. (So far I have done the Tom's carbon elbow and the RR heat shield myself.)
Hello! Yes, we are located in NJ. We are pretty far south (exit 58 off the gsp) I’m very familiar with Staten Island as I actually have family out that way small world. Go ahead and shoot us an email over at segaragechannel@gmail.com and we’ll see what we can come up with.
I didn’t get any Loctite with the package, and no as stated in the video I did not put Loctite on the crank bolt. I believe that the new units come with the Loctite already installed on the Alan bolts that are on the back side of the pulley
Another awesome GSF mod video! Based on access and clearance you had, do you think this can be done without a lift? I have 12” wheel cribs but curious if you think you could reach everything and have enough force to torque it to spec without standing. Thoughts?
Worst case you can do the job from up top! Just have to pull the intake tube/air box and maybe the coolant overflow bottle and you should have a ton of room
I installed my crank pulley on just 6 inch wheel cribs under each wheel...was little tight under but I got it done. 12inch is plenty... the car already has like 5 inches of clearance as it sits..
i install the crank pulley on my IS500 exactly following your instructions and car drove fine til i gave it some full throttle acceleration and now feels like is on limp mode no codes or anything engine idle fine sounds good . just if i try to accelerate it feels like it loss alot of power . if i look from the top of engine bay while it idle looks to me like the pulley wobbles a little . what do you think i could of done wrong ? could this cause major critical damage to my engine ? i did torque it to 242 lbs of torque .
Which pulley wobbles? Take everything off and clean the backsides of the pulleys and the mounting points on the engine block until they're completely flat and clear of any debris at all and tighten them down a little snug in star patterns, then torque them down in star patterns again.
Because if you don’t put it in a downwards attitude when you try to slide the crank pulley on, it’ll push the dowel into the timing cover, and you risk dropping it
Lexus in AZ quoted me $609 to do all three pulleys. Shocked they would even do it and they won’t be the cheapest. An Indy shop that knows the 2UR engine probably could do it for half that.
Yes and no. If any of the pulleys were to somehow cause a failure, that particular failure would not be covered under warranty. However, the pulleys do not automatically void your warranty no
For another perspective to reiterate, my Lexus dealership told me they would do the install for me if I wanted. They are familiar with RR and would never have been ok installing an aftermarket part unless they were confident it wouldn’t damage the engine.
Man your channel is Gold . I appreciate you showing us 2UR guys how to work on our cars .
I appreciate that!
great tutorial , planning this as my next mod for my IS500
Great Content on the GsF ..Keep dropping more Vids...
Appreciate you!!!
Keep up the great content 👏
good job ! awsome mods!

Definitely gonna get this for my rcf
It’s definitely worth the purchase!
@@SEsGarage where u located bro?
We’re in south jersey

RCF is about 67 lbs lighter, some people watching this weigh 67 lbs more than me...
@@computerhelpcc every pound counts remember that
Wooo

Wish you could have compared the 0-60 before and after the install. I'm thinking of adding this to the RC.
According to RR, it makes roughly .2 second difference!
@@SEsGarage pretty incredible for something that doesn't seem like a big modification.
Did you say how much the kit cost?How much were those pullies
If you go on RR racings website you can configure them to your liking as far as color and which pulleys you want to see pricing!
Great!
You apply loctite 660 that came with the package? How bout thread lock on the crank bolt?

Yes good call! I did see a video of an RCF dropped off to a shop and looked like they were doing it from the top. Thanks brother!

Did you solve your problem yet? What was it?
I might be sold on this for my 500. How’s it been since installing?
zero issues all is well!
Why does the dowl pin key way thing need to be pointing down ?
Because if you don’t put it in a downwards attitude when you try to slide the crank pulley on, it’ll push the dowel into the timing cover, and you risk dropping it
thanks for the reply, I'll definitely be pointing the dowel down now, it falling in sounds like problems I dont want.
hey if i go to get this installed how much you think it would be
Lexus in AZ quoted me $609 to do all three pulleys. Shocked they would even do it and they won’t be the cheapest. An Indy shop that knows the 2UR engine probably could do it for half that.
Good job thank you so much bro 🫡
I can’t wait to own me a gsf if the price is right 😂😂w tho but they still expensive in the market for used
Does this void any warranties?
Yes and no. If any of the pulleys were to somehow cause a failure, that particular failure would not be covered under warranty. However, the pulleys do not automatically void your warranty no
The water pump is the one that you held in place. The scavenge pump is the other one.
Yes I realized that after the fact lol. Same difference
Do you think using this damper will short the life on the engine? RR Racing says it will not. What do you think?
Honestly, I wouldn’t have installed it if I felt it was going to harm my engine in any way
For another perspective to reiterate, my Lexus dealership told me they would do the install for me if I wanted. They are familiar with RR and would never have been ok installing an aftermarket part unless they were confident it wouldn’t damage the engine.
