No one has an opinion on this???

If you think the above pulley is an original, tell me why, and if you think it's a repop, let me know the reasons also.

Could you post a pic of the rear of the pulley?

Please help educate the masses.......

When these 458 pulleys are installed on the pump, in the car, they are quite difficult to tell Original GM from repop.....

Given the asking/selling prices ($400-$500) for "real" 458's isnt the money better spent elsewhere.........like on "real" cam lifters, "real" valve springs.

I'm for OEM original parts almost as much as anybody, but some repops are so close, especially in the installed position

Go ahead, flame suit on !!!!!!!!

That would be fine as long as the repops didn't wobble, break at higher rpm's, etc

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.
