Pulley Misalignment
Posted: September 25th, 2015, 10:20 pm
Hi Folks,
I have an engine from a Fiat Argenta.
I have noticed that the water pump V belt pulley is approx. 1.5mm (0.060") forward of the crankshaft pulley, when measured centre line of the V to centre line of the V, looking from the side of the engine, taking the block front face as the datum. I have a thin 'paper' gasket fitted on the water pump, so nothing excessive there....
Does this mean I have an incorrect spec of water pump, or should there be a spacer on to the crankshaft prior to the pulley and/or the sprocket being installed.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Andrew
