I have a 98 integra. Everythings stock. Recently noticed an extreme wobble in my pulleys. Its came loose twive before and been tightened . But now the pulley closest to the motor appears to be rubbing on the motor and theres a space between the outer most pulley and the two inner ones. The space is about 1/4 inch and very shiney. Any ideas on how to fix it? Get a new one?... I also have a cylinder one mis fire it threw out 4 codes cant remember them right now but cleaned distributor and rotor runs a little better checked plugs there all fine and firing! ???

misfire means fuel and etc arent running the same as the other cylinders. so gas is getting ignited late or earlier than say cyl 2. i would do a new cap and rotor for your car. then wires. you may want to post a picture of your pully problem

sounds like crank walk, might be that the threads that your crank pulley bolt goes into are stripped and can't hold it in. If thats the case then your going to need a new crank and maybe the bolt and pulley too.

sooo its not coming away or rubbing near the plastic part just where its shinny? if thats the cause you just need a new crank pulley

Really? It's not a 7 bolt DSM. :roll:

OP, get a new pulley and a new crank bolt. Tighten it down with an impact.

I meant it like the crank pulley walked off the crank, I've seen the bolt that holds the crank pulley strip out the threads on the crank and cause the pulley to wobble cause the same problem hes having. If I were him I'd inspect the crank threads before putting on the new pulley

I agree. I would hope the OP would check the threading out before trying to reinstall the pulley.
When you said crankwalk though, I flashed back to the days I used to build 4G63s.
