Super helpful stuff here, Tim! Thanks much...I will have to keep this in mind next time I head down to the pick n pull!

Tim,
Thank you SO much for the info! Not terribly surprised about the cost...Looks like I will be scavenging through some salvage yards in the Portland area (considering I'm pretty tight on $ at...
Hello Tim,
Glad I was able to locate this thread, as it pertains to the issue I'm dealing with. The small idler pulley you mention here broke off from the engine block of my 85 van. I am having...
