With that reasoning, I find it hard to believe that one of our motors without boost or build is going to be messed up by one of these kits.
Unorthodox Racing SS Pulley Kit..meh?

Its a myth because the civic engineer guys said it is. 
Its called reciprocating force, as the pistons go up the rest of the engine wants to go down. The crank shaft bends as its spinning.
Law of centrifigal force: " disputed by civic engineers"
The law states that with the same amount of imbalance, the force will increase by the square of the RPM. For example, if the RPM doubles, the force quadruples, and if the RPM triples, the force of the imbalance increases ninefold.
Even a balanced crankshaft experiences distortion. Harmonic dampers are used to absorb some of this energy and limit the amount of distortion. If the imbalance reaches a certain resinance then u can have premature bearing wear by the bearings misalighning or crankshaft failure.
Will u experience catostrophic failure on a little 4cyl? Slim chance.
Something with alot of hp at high rpm will be something to worry about. Why do u think race engines usually have bearing or crankshaft failure? They are fighting the laws of physics.

No problem, very rare do i get technical.

I'm with akoutmos on this one. Three horsepower and a little bling is not worth messing with your Honda's reliability. The Honda engineers are a lot smarter than you and I. If it's there, I'm sure there's a good reason for it. Sure you will probably be fine running the aluminum pulley, but why risk it for such a small gain?

well then wtf, what am I risking exactly? I don't have a race engine, I don't rev it to the sky whether it's warm out or cold, it's garage kept year round, and I change the oil precisely when it needs it.not to be rude, but it sounds like a lot of people thinking they know what they're talking about yet not providing raw evidence
lots of "well I heard this" "myths" "it could do ______" "why risk ______"
I mean why do they sell these kinds of pulley kits? you can't lead me to believe it's just one huge scam or terrible production idea if multiple companies have been making these for years now.
and do you guys even read entire OP posts, I'm not doing this for actual performance reasons tbh..
I understand a number of you clearly have more history with engine component maintenance, but have you seen one of these kits on a car (especially a 6ga) and seen the damage it can supposedly do?
if you don't then....yeah, not much to go on wouldn't you say?
if this really is a terrible idea then I'm clearly not going to do it, I mean you can guess that I only buy quality parts for my car or I don't bother at all, but I really would like to fix this situation and just get rid of that damn noise. It's driving me crazy, especially on rainy days.

Lol the law of centrifigal force and natural resonance is there so theres nothing really to "prove". Someone already did that.
Ugh, i really dont have time right to spew out more info because im going to work. But loke i said in my last post, race engine no.
Stock, ur probably okay but im not gonna say ur absolutely 100% ok.

yeah but a law of physics isn't why I purchase a well know brand's products, I mean be reasonable
they have obviously done r&d to get to the point of manufacturing these, as has AEM with their pulley set.
I just want the horrifying noise to DIEEEEEEE, oh god the chirping noise... *weeps like an old woman*
we need more input, let's get some more people in on this discussion.
and the first person to tell me to just buy an oem set and pay that price, deserves not only a facepalm but a smack to the head

Get this one. This is what I am eventually going to do.

If it is not for performance, the UR kit seems to be alright.

it does sound brilliant, but do I have to call up the company to order?
