Crankshaft/Damper Pulley issue?

[Offworld_Colonies]

I’ll log this under sheer chance?
I was replacing my broken washer nozzle and happened to look at the Cranshaft pulley (I think that’s what it is) and noticed it looked like it was wobbling. It seems to be only the center bolt?
Is that normal?
can someone do me a solid and check?
Am i just imagining this!?

As always… you guys rock and thanks!

Huh interesting. I’ll get a video of mine to compare soon.

If you ignore the bolt and just focus on the outer diameter of the pulley, it looks to be spinning true. I'm guessing it's just a poorly manufactured bolt.

I wouldn't give it another thought if it was mine.

As long as the harmonic balancer is running true, you are good to go…ignore the bolt.
I have seen this many times on the GM Ecotec engines. If the bolt was loosened, you would be surprised at how much lateral play it has in the crankshaft bore…even though it’s probably 6” long. These are torque to yield bolts and are designed to stretch slightly for increased clamping power.

Don’t concentrate on the bolt, look at the hub and then the outer dampening ring. Looks good to me.

What everyone else said. I don't see a problem.
