9.5x710 or 10x710 should be correct. Did you move any shims between the pulley halves yet?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)


Great progress! Fairly sure my 2.4 engine has or rather had 3 or 4 shims (have to admit I haven't done the last 2 services / alternator had to be replaced in that time frame)

I do clearly remember the 1st time I did the belt, and it's amazing how much of a difference even adding or removing a single shim makes. I had to go out and buy some more the 1st time I did this job and also keep some in a packet tucked into the tool kit

The pulley should have 6 shims. Adjustment is just moving the shims in front or between the pulley halves but never removing them completely.


Six shims,not for the early motors 2 to 3 as far as I know but this a later motor so that may explain it?

Even 3.2's use 6 shims.

All right! The first 90% is done!

Now on to the second 90%, and after that you'll only have 90% to go...

By the way, when we had the heads off, we measured the pistons and they are 84mm. That means this engine is really a 2.4. We think the cams will give us milder "S" type performance numbers, along with the porting work we just did.

Oh, and also by the way, I was told the engine was built to a 2.7 spec and I bought it as such................ Oh well.

I think it will be a fun car, nonetheless.

Are your carbs setup for a 2.4 or 2.7? Looks like your main jets might need to be changed out.

I remembered that the day the /4 blew up, we did a nice corner balance/stance on the car and I drove it home in a somewhat "spirited" way.

I can't believe how low it is now, it's been a long time since I've seen it with a motor in it (it's been on jack stands).
The stance is pretty solid.

If it is any consolation I have never seen mine with a motor in it. Bought it that way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Yours is looking really good with motor in place and your making great progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Hope to catch up!
