I got a 99 prelude with an H22A4 - just rolled over 150k miles.
I pulled into work and noticed a very subtle sound like a vacuum leak.
Popped the hood with the car running and notice my crank (underdrive) pulley is wobbling a bit. It's making the engine vibrate a bit, but not too bad.
With a bad wobble will this mean I will have crankshaft damage?
Will I just have to replace the defective pulley?
Or will I need to get the bottom end pulled apart to do this?
What should I expect with this problem?
Is there a bearing behind the pulley that I need to replace/will I be able to replace it without pulling the motor apart?
Need help!
I am not going to drive the car as I just noticed the noise and just drove it home from work and it will be parked until I fix it, because if i'm not mistaken, if the pulley falls off/breaks off my timing belt will go with it. The previous owner probably overtightened the bolt, or something.
