| The bearing froze up on my idler pulley several months back, and the heat build up resulted in what looks like a melted center of the plastic pulley. I'd say they were designed to do that under bearing failure. | |

| Both metal and plastic pulleys fail if the bearings go out. Plastic does not melt unless it gets too hot. I still use plastic because they're lighter than steel.

| yesterday i changed my air filter set up so you heard the air swirling around the metal pipe, anyways this guy pulled along side me and said, " hey your turbo bearings are going out " and i said, " its supercharged " and he said some shit about when i got on it, it sounded like bearings going out and pulled and quick right so i dont know what to think of it, was it just my air intake sounding like its sucking little kids off the street or the supercharger im not sure  | |
