Re: Ebay 458DA pulley, is this repop?
 

Someone finally PM'd me with the exact reasons the pulley I pictured is a repop.
Now I won't be guessing about that anymore. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

If the person that PM'd me is willing to share the info, I'll let them help, as it's not really my info to share.

It appears that the pulley in question does not have the Oval shaped outline around the P/N and the rear has "lines" instead of "knurls" as per the original. These lines usually indicat a pulley that has been spun formed instead of stamped. The knurled marks may have been caused by a holding fixture while a particular operation was done, such as the V groove forming. I had a pulley that was identical and determined it was a repo although very nice quality. I have a problem when sellers try and pass these off as originals and someone pays $600 for a $100 pulley, thinking they purchased an original.

As Paul stated, originals have an oval outline around the stampings. Here is a photo of an original.

I still maintain, these OEM details are quite difficult, when installed, on the car, and painted. IMO

Thought there was difference in measurement front to rear ?

But I will try and use flashlight, mirror to look closer.
