HELP~ the blet is running off the idler pulley~ HELP
Hi all:
I finished the install of the belt tonight and I kept running into the same problem. The belt is running off the idler pulley towards the SC plate.
I noticed that the idler pulley wobbles when it is tightened on the plate. There are two washers for my idler pulley and I found out both of them are on the same site. Can that be the cause?
please help.
thx

The idler pulley definitely shouldn't 'wobble'...
Is your S/C a V1 or V2?
Is the idler pulley the 'stock' Stillen one? or aftermarket?
ASP idler pulley for the V2 DOESN'T include the bushing...

Sounds like the pulley is sticking a way bit out than it should because of the washers. I have my washer (1) on the bolt side, not against the mounting plate. (Mine's a V2 btw)

now it is running like this and about 2mm of the belt is NOT running on the idler pulley.

You're saying that it fell into the gap between the pulley and the SC plate?

The pulley shouldn't wobble at all.

I have v2 with Dan's aluminum pulley. When I first start up the car, the belt running left and right on the idler pulley and then finally moved a rib on the alternator pulley and went into the gap between the plate and the pulley. When I tightend it down a bit more, the belt stayed, but it is running really close to the plate. like 5mm.
now it is running like this and about 2mm of the belt is NOT running on the idler pulley.
yup~

You are close to the right answer even without looking at it! I will post the cause of pulley not aligned in another thread.
hmmmm....when it is fully tightened, I can tilt the pulley a little. Seems the bearing may be a bit loose but I doubt it is the cause of the problem.

If you have 2mm of the belt running off of the idler pulley then how's the belt on the tensioner pulley? Is it rubbing against one wall of the pulley?
If it is rubbing then you'll definitely need some washers to move the blower slightly away from the mounting plate. My belt is running right in center of both pullies.

The tensioner pulley is ok. The direction shifts at the SC pulley. seems the main pulley is the only cause of the problem, because Kevin didnt have any alignment issue with the 2.87

Hmmm the main pulley? Never thought that that thing would wobble. I guess the locking pin isn't tight enough for that to happen.
