Crank Pulley Comparison

Crank Pulley Comparison
Just installed my UDP today, hate these tight quarters, cut my head, skinned my knuckles, had to make my own tool to loosen the power steering pulley, otherwise its real easy. Right.
Since I did have a 4th Gen pulley I decided to compare weights and see if they were the same. Surprisingly the 2k2 pulley weighed a pound more than the 4th Gen pulley. So if anyone want to shed a cheap pound there are lots of 4th Gen pulleys laying around. The dia etc are all the same, as you can see by the picture the 2k2 pulley has a thicker outer rim of steel vs the 4th gen causing the extra weight.
The only real difference are the timing marks on the 4th Gen pulley so the 5th Gen would not work on a 4th Gen if you wanted to go to a heavier pulley.
The weights are 5th Gen=5 lb 11 oz, 4th Gen=4 lb 11 oz, UDP (RVM) 1 lb 4 oz.
My UDP is the controversial one (RVM) that causes leaks. This is the 3rd time I have installed it (97 SE) (95 GXE) (2k2 SE) and still have had no problems so I will continue to use it.
