Tough to get the laser pointed just right like that but the pullies sure do look like they're in alignment just looking at that picture
Hey worst case you can just adjust every other pulley to match your new balancer location

That would be my luck.
I just threw the AC belt back on it. It looks pretty straight to me?

That sure looks good to me. I'd go with it

I can also say that nothing short of a 1" drive impact or a torque multiplier has a chance of turning the installer even 2* more. I had a 3.5' pipe extension on the end of a breaker bar and put my full weight on that, and it wouldn't turn any more, so what ever it is, it's on as far as it will go.

Thank you sir!
That's exactly what I was looking for! That's how mine looks right now too. But, I would've thought they would make the pin kit a little tighter against the washer, just to keep it from moving around in there?
Thanks again man. You might have just saved me from further back injury or a wrung-off crank installation tool!

... the spacing threw me off too when I installed mine, I thought it needed to go on more but was bottomed out and when I put my laser on it all of my pulleys were in alignment... maybe the backside of it is machined differently than stock so it gives the appearance that it isn't fully seated... mine slid right on though, I didn't have to fight it with a cheater pipe
... from what I remember those pins are pretty long and the space between the pin fixture and flat washer will not be enough for the pins to work their way out and cause the fixture to move around
