Could I be revving too fast? this is not a stock motor... I just don't know if there are shims or other things to look at. Fan is tight and balanced.. I guess I could back off the timing, but what fun would that be... |

My belt kept coming loose. I have the motor out and I can see the pulleys are not aligned correctly. It looks like the alternator bracket is holding the altenator crooked. Check to see if both pulleys are in line and straight.
