Ok I guess hinting at it doesn't work......for the MINIMAL GAINS you can expect to see these are not worth the aggravation and potential damage that can be done to the seal. Those pulleys haven't been made in years and there's a reason for it. There wasn't enough demand (and the company is a bunch of crooks) and they didn't net a gain that is worth the inevitable oil leak.

I wouldn't say inevitable oil leak. Many people. Like myself have been running those pulleys for years with no issues. When installed properly (Like the grease in the sleeve like torspd said) there is no issues. Now the minimal gains I agree with especially for the price. I was lucky and nst was good with me. I bought my pulley used. It didn't have the sleeve. I sent it in they sleeved it for free. Been over 5 years and it's still good. I wouldn't even chance dealing with them now though. I must say. My red crank pulley looks cool (that's about all it is lol)

To be honest, the oil seal lip will cut through steel over time. It cuts faster through aluminum.
When I pulled off my stock one, there was a slight cut in it.
I have had similar issues with other cars, other than Toyota.
The leak just happens over time.
