Thread: Acceptable amount for the water pump pulley to be out of line???

Tweet

...Thanks C9x, I must have said it backwards lol.... I need the waterpump pulley to be 1/8" in closer to the motor. That's what happens when I post at 4 am!!! Bill

Are you using a Chevy pulley or a Mopar?

You might be able to find a junkyard special that'll do what you want, but if you're running an aftermarket aluminum pulley you might be able to find what you want.

If pulley & pump hub are straight I'd be tempted to put a spacer between crank pulley and dampener.

Sounds like a lathe project, but if you lay it out right and keep the center hole small till the last you can do it with a hacksaw, drill press and belt or disc sander.

I've sold off all my big stuff, holding onto just my hand tools, but I can visualize making it with a 3/8" drill motor, holesaw, drill bits, hacksaw and a good set of files, which I have.
