In search of a 4EFTE crank pulley, I searched here and was happy to find someone
who had what I as looking for... and his name is johnnygt.
Just before we sealed the deal, he sent me a photo of the piece and an explanation as to the cost (Shipping was a killer but...):
The following is/was my reply to johnnygt and the sentence at the end of the reply
("I don't expect to hear back from you but...") was meant to be a bit facetious
Here's the reply with photos I TOOK of the pulley:

Pulley arrived today and my initial excitement turn to DISAPPOINTMENT!
Very disappointed with the pulley... I paid $138 USD for a paperweight!!!
I was aware of the 2 chips which appeared in the photo you sent
...but there's also an apparent FRESH 3 inch chunk which wasn't shown in your photo...
and I can certainly understand why! I wouldn't have bought it had I known seen THIS:
The 3 inch crack is so severe that a belt will not be able to ride on the inner part of the pulley!!!
...and as mentioned, this is a FRESH break, unlike the two other smaller chips missing which have had time to oxidize!!!
and the keyway which slots to the crank has been slightly damaged as well as all of the above!
I don't expect to hear back from you but... I dunno!!!
