On my old 5th gen the crank pulley came apart, no damage was done and even the lower cover was ok.
Are you going to get a brand new crank pulley or fit a 2nd hand one?

Thanks for all the replies lads. I still haven't gotten down to my unit to have a look yet.
I was at a gig over the weekend and a huge hangover mixed with a ruined back have kept me away.
I only assumed that the crank bolt had backed out somehow because I only put a new Honda pulley onto it a couple of years ago.
I'll post an update after I've had a chance to have a proper look.

Oh! You've already put a new pulley on it? Argh... That is sounding a bit unlikely that it would have delaminated already then, to be fair...
I am surprised about bolts backing off though. Really surprised.

I couldn't agree more, after what I had to through last winter to get the timing gear off when I was giving it a bit of a refresh.wurlycorner wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 11:08 pmOh!

Did you oil the crank pulley bolt correctly as per the service manual (it's very particular about where to oil/where not to oil it)?

I have to admit to not even torqueing the lower pully bolt to its full tightness (manual has some ludicrously high figure my cheapy wrench wont go to). I did however clean and lubricate the bolt as per the manual.
Iain - didn't you say that the original pulley has a defect in the bonding? I know we have had 1 other user where the bolt had come loose but I don't recall any others (FreeRanjEgg - however his motegi kit lives on on my car thanks to lankysod!)

No, I absolutely did not lubricate the bolt when I put everything back together.

Ah, that might well have been the issue then. It is important to do it up tight enough, to spec!
On mine, yes - a manufacturing defect in the original bonding, visible after it had come apart. That doesn't mean all others will suffer from it, just happened to be the case on mine.Iain - didn't you say that the original pulley has a defect in the bonding?
