Wrong harmonic balancer? Hi, i got a question about my harmonic balancer. It is a Powerbond SFI 25% underdrive balancer. I got it installed but it is not aligned with the other pulleys (powersteering, alternator, idler pulley). Does anybody know whats wrong?!

You might have bought the wrong offset. Which car is it in? If a Corvette, the pulley could be for a Camaro or truck, both of which align farther away from the front of the engine, the truck version being the farthest out.

All accessories are from the C5 Corvette, Original LS1. Only thing i changed is the harmonic balancer because the rubber of the original balancer failed....

The same belt you had (IF you have one) should fit. The offset was wrong, but the diameter of the pulley should be the same. Measure the route of the belt with some string and then order the belt by the length you have found.
