I have multiple dilemmas laying at my feet on my pulleys/brackets for my SBC. They are all made by march performance and from the same kit all made to be used in conjunction with a proform electric water pump. I don't have the power steering pump yet so I don't know if this is an issue yet but the alternator definitely is out of whack. Using a level laying flat across the crank pulley the alternator is 3/8" behind. I immediately thought the balancer must not be on all the way so I got my moroso installer out and I cannot get it go on any farther (its been on for a month already/could be problem).
Which leads me to question one: What is the clearance from timing cover to back of balancer ring? I have a puller to take the balancer off if need be.
Question two:If I do take it off should I try beating it on with pipe on inner ring instead of the moroso tool that draws it on with a bearing and nut?
I dont think the alternator is any issue but I am open to any suggestions regarding it. Its a GM 1 wire from made by JEGS and I took the v belt pulley off and put on the serp belt pulley and thats it regarding the alternator.
I know it would be bad to run a belt on a motor with that much lateral difference. Thanks for reading, thinking, and for any replies.
