A full-diameter billet crank pulley that looks as good as it runs. The CMI Precision Machining 6.75" Billet Crank Pulley Kit is CNC machined in the USA from premium 6061-T651 billet aluminum, with the CMI logo and timing marks engraved directly into the face. The pulley rides on a heat-treated 4140 steel hub with a black zinc finish, fastened with six stainless steel flat-head cap screws, and the back is pre-drilled and tapped to accept CMI's optional Hall-sensor crank trigger wheel for EFI and crank-fire ignition builds.
Washburn's Metal is an authorized CMI Precision Machining dealer — genuine CMI parts, made in the USA, with full factory support.

Which Pulley Do I Need?
- 6.75" vs 5.25": 6.75" is CMI's full-diameter crank pulley. CMI also makes a 5.25" crank power pulley, which CMI pairs with its 3.25" alt/gen power pulley to maintain adequate cooling fan speed. If you are keeping a standard-size alternator/generator pulley (such as CMI's 4.3"), choose this 6.75".
- 6 vs 12 spokes: purely a styling choice; both share the same pulley material, hub and fasteners. Match the look of CMI's 8- or 12-spoke 4.3" alt/gen pulleys.
- Stock vs Sand Seal hub: Sand Seal only if your crankcase is machined for a sand seal. Sand Seal hubs are offered in black only.
- Going EFI or crank-fire? Add the CMI 6.75" Crank Trigger Wheel Kit (Hall sensor), which bolts to the pre-tapped holes on the back of this pulley.
Installation Notes
- Installs on the crankshaft snout in place of the factory pulley, using your crank pulley bolt and washer. We also stock the CMI Stainless Steel Crank Pulley Bolt & Washer Kit (A07).
- Confirm belt alignment with the alternator/generator pulley; shim the alt/gen pulley as needed.
- Check timing with the engraved marks and a timing light after installation.
- Follow your engine builder's or the factory manual's torque specification for the crank pulley bolt.
