A common failure and well documented weakness on the inline 5 Cylinder turbo engines is the crank 2 cambelt pulley Sprocket.
The OEM units tend to fail with catastrophic consequences, as the oem units are made from a weak puter (cast) type of material. They tend to shear the keyway especially when a more performance is required from the engine.
Failure of the oem unit leads to a head full of bent valves, damage to other valvetrain components aswell as a list of other possible engine components.
Having been a victim to this weakness and to prevent further destruction of my cars valve train , i made up a super strength crank pulley sprocket from Hi Strength Steel.
The Steel is a Hi Grade EN19T Tool Steel, CNC cut and the teeth cut on a gear cutting machine.
Fit is 100% as original.
I did a run of which half are already sold.
$225 each
Damage to Original pulley.
I got some of them heat treated and blackened to prevent corrosion.
