Thats about all worth mentioning.

Aren't lightweight pulleys bad for the engine as they dont dampen?

I found a really cheap lightweight crankshaft pulley and did a bit of research and most of it said as there is no weight it doesn't dampen vibration.

The vibration dampening is absorbed by the rubber within the stock pulley (harmonic balancer?), which is absent in my alumium version. You are right, it is an issue.
But after much research, the issue only become apparent when applied to big power engines, ours are not. So technically it is still safe to use. Mine are sourced from RB performance UK, which do do lots of FTO mods in UK. Ofcos, there are aluminium harmonic balancers which are best of both worlds, but they are expensive.

But for me, so far so good.Fingers crossed.
Note that the weight difference are quite obvious too. have you carried a stock harmonic balancer?

Yes and it's no feather

What are your alignment settings if you remember?

And, did you notice any difference with the lightweight pulley?
To be honest personally it's not a mod I'd want to do, however a lightweight flywheel would be something of interest

Aftermarket ones are ok, so long as you get them properly balanced.

dont feel much difference. it is just like lightweight pulley+ flywheel with intake+exhaust, i only got half of the equation right. LOL

Personally I would disagree with this. It is a risk to your engine. Possibly low risk with the FTO but a risk none the less.

You will find there are certain rpm points of the engine where the harmonic imbalances all line up where if you happen to spend a lot of time at or around this rpm point you will have major problems. And no I have no idea what those points might be on the FTO, and have no intention of finding out lol

agreed
