People for years removed that front portion and the damper and ran it in SCCA and road events before Unorthodox came out with a lightened version. I ran the UR pulley on my old car for nearly nine years, never had a seal leak, spun bearing, anything. That block is now in my new car, still fine with nearly 190k on it. UR did do a redesign because the early versions wore on the crank seal, they added a steel sleeve right after the first production run to fix it.
Werd. My KA has over 210k and I've had my pulley for over 50k.

Dunno about the SR.
