Maybe your crank/Balencer is warped........ i destroyed my stock one a while back when my crank bolt was backing out all the time and i had to buy a brand new one. I believe it was about a $96 bucks..... just a worst case thought.......

Are you making sure all the splines on the ATI are engaged?

I think they mean the inside(where the bolt goes through)is flush.When doing these kit's I alway's have around 1/8 in pulley to pulley and the kits work fine.

I have kind of the same question. My pulley has the gap but it doesn't seem to line up with the blower pulley. The crank pulley looks like it needs to stick out even further, like 3/8 to 1/2 an inch. Or the blower needs to get closer to the motor, but it's all ready barely off the alternator. My kit was originally bought for my 98' TA but is now on my 01' TA if that makes any difference. Any ideas?

It's not suppose to be flush aginst it, as long as the index posts are inbetween the gaps in the crank balancer your okay.
