All,

I have a old procharger twin intercooler setup. Wonder if anyone has this setup. Need some help/suggestion on a pulley alignment issue I'm having.

Thanks in advance.

I am not much help at pulley alignment but if you stated the problem, others would be able to give you advice.

Here is a link if you have not seen about using a lazer aligner.

Thanks. Don't mind the scoring of the idler pulley. That is a mess up on my part. Having an alignment issue with the idler pulley and the pulley on the procharger. Almost like a shim is missing on the tensioner side. Bought the kit used so not sure if I'm missing something.Name:  photo564.jpg

This happens often don't know why. Happen to me. Wasted so much time and belts. Got the lazer, fixed 1/2 hr. Heads had to come off my car. Didn't change anything expect in the engine. This time lasered and sure enough it was misangled back to the original spot when i bought it. Quick fix and all is perfect. I will use laze if i have to remove from engine. Never had a problem with changing belts.

It’s just a back side idler. Just space it over- doesn’t need to be perfect, just try to get the belt in the middle and see it anything else is misaligned.
