i wish i could get that broken crank under a microscope.......still, with it being sintered, it would be a lot harder to tell exactly what happened.

Well aware

The pulley I have came from RSS, and was "designed for the M97 3.8 engine to retain the factory damping characteristics" so honestly, who knows if or how well its tuned, but I figured it was better than having nothing, so it went on my motor.
I, too, would be interested to see the actual failure of that broken crank....
