G8 Procharger Alignment/Balancer Wobble Hi,
I have an irritating bird chirping under the hood unless the engine gets really hot! The alignment is a bit out - the crank pulley is closer to the engine than the rest of of the pulleys.
What would be the best way to space the crank pulley out a bit? I don't think I can bring the others in - the bracket has no spacers in places and the idler and blower pulley are pretty close to the bracket.
The crank pulley and stock damper also wobble. I heard this is a problem with the stock dampers on the G8's - anyone have any experience of this?
Is there an aftermarket damper that the procharger pulley will fit on or a complete aftermarket damper with blower belt drive that is recommended or could this be an install issue?

Hi Bob,
Yep - I remember the mission it was of getting it to the torque spec. Only really tightened up the 8 bolts holding the lobes to prevent it turning after though - maybe this somehow threw it out?
