Need some idea's I finished installing my blower over the weekend and cranked it up for the first time today. Ran ok for like 2 minutes then started shredding my belt. I know all the pulley's on the driver side are ok. (alt. power steering, idle, crank). Just the pulley's on the blower side are off, but I dont know how to get them to pull in closer to the block? Any advice? here are a couple pictures. Aligned pulley's: (alt. PS. Idle, Crank) Alt pulley looks off but its from the angle I took the picture. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...5/IMG_1739.jpg Here are the pulley's on the blower bracket. See how there off from the crank at the bottom. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...5/IMG_1738.jpg Any idea how to pull them in closer to the block? I cant figure it out? If I wasnt having this problem I would just be enjoying the new look under the engine bay. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...5/IMG_1742.jpg I'm just a little frustrated. I've been working for 24 hours on this install. :bang: Thanks for any help in advance. Jon |
Something is way out on the alignment. Is that an A&A kit? If so, I would contact Andy for advice. I would also recommend an laser pulley alignment tool. |
I got it done. Its 2:30am on Monday morning but I got it done! Jon |
what did you do?? did you flip the pulley? or did you install the shim under the blower pulley? |
No I had a spacer in the wrong location. A&A's bracket only uses 2 spacers that mount to the head. I seen a 3rd bolt hole at the bottom of the head and figured there was supposed to be a spacer there but I was wrong. Each spacer on the back bracket has a recess it sits in, and the extra one I installed didnt. So it pushed the bottom of the bracket out like .060 or the equivalent of 1 rib. Caused a whole misalignment. I figured it out looking at different pictures of guys A&A kits on Corvette Forum. The instructions were a little misleading during that part of the install. So that, along with me assuming things, messed up the belt. Jon |
