Re: Ebay 458DA pulley, is this repop?
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.
