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. No problems so far.

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 ?
