I took my engine out of my car.
Repainted all sheet metal, repaired this and that. Put the engine back in. Put on a new German belt, it flew off in 10 minutes. And then again. Put the old belt on, that has flown off twice. Using a straight edge, I can measure a 1/2 inch misalignment in the pulleys. I can’t even imagine how they became misaligned. I would think it could only go back together one way. The alternator pulley is further out towards front of car. With the engine pulley closer to rear of car. The engine pulley seems nice and flush around its surrounding cover stuff. I can only imagine that the alt pulley is turned around. So, I can try flipping that. But is there a spacer behind the engine pulley? I don’t think I ever removed the engine fan/pulley. |

The factory put a spacer between the fan and the crank. If it is missing, it will cause the misalignment you are seeing. If you can't find the spacer, just put an AC pulley in there. They are the same thickness, and the pulley won't hurt a thing.
Hope that helps. Clay |
