I believe that's a Gates #36101 idler pulley. Check your Installation manual, or just remove the pulley for the part number. You may be able to locate one locally.

The gates 36101 is the idler on the driver side and it’s steel the one I need is aluminum seen in this section of manual and of course there’s no mention of the part number

If you cant wait, press the bearing out of the pulley and take it to a local Auto parts store and find a match. Just make sure its automotive grade.

It could be the same size bearing that comes out of the #36101.

I had one of those idlers fail on my Whipple kit in under 2000 miles. Disappointing. Whipple did send out a replacement without hesitation. I plan to get the bearings out of the old one at some point so I can make a spare.

The paperwork with the replacement called it a ‘billet smooth idler’ with no part number.

You are running the 6rib so just take off the idler and take it to parts store and they will give you a new one. I bet you a stock idler will work

Thank you all for your responses and help, luckily a friend with a whipple is smart and ordered spare parts going to order him a replacement and get myself one as well for future my car as well only has a few thousand miles on whipple I’ll contact maybe her a free one

Make sure the pulley is properly torqued. Don't overtighten.

I only had torq wrench that went to 20 ft lb manual says 30 so I just gave it a little more and called it a day hopefully it’s all good followed manual with anti seize etc
