So i had a couple of most parts after getting the original high-mileage motor to rebuild. But i’m starting to find out that the PO didnt pay attention to a lot of details and its causing me some trouble.
Alternator crapped out on me so i swapped on the spare i had from the JDM sludge motor. Well, the spare is a 4pk but my crank and fan pulley are both 6pk. No big, i thought, ill swap the pulleys. Turns out they are not interchangeable.
I dont have a second crank pulley but i do have the 4pk fan pulley. Went to PickNPull and compared 2 crank pulleys, both are 4pk
For reference, you can see both 6pks here
Grabbed the cleaner one and went home to swap it all out. Well, because its my luck, the fan pulley doesnt line up correctly with the other 2. Its offset by about a 1/4 inch and this also causes the fan pulley for the PS to be off a bit.
4pk fan pulley(doesnt align with crank or alt)
Looking at part numbers, i can find no trace of the 6pk system. So any clues as to what 5vz uses a wider alternator belt? Any reason that the 4pk fan pulley doesnt sit as close to the motor as it should?
Anyone else run into this?
Ive temporarily fixed the issue by running the 6pk fan pulley so the alt belt lines up but the PS belt is still offset.
