No, just a couple of degrees to get the belt away from the housing.

LOL, its no different than the angle from the crank pulley to the alternator!

Anyone use or have a small block double groove AC idler pulley? I could swear my car had one back in the day, and that when i was 18 pulled it off and chucked it, since it was frozen. I have this mystery bracket that fits the two driver side water pump bolt holes and has a threaded welded on...

I will be looking at things closely one i get it all torn down again. You might be right about crappy made products, we will see what happens with the new pump, summit sent me the wrong one, so i have another one coming hopefully by next week. We will see what i can find. Appreciate the info...

I think i am going to order one of those and see how it goes!

Does that use a different seal, i thought i read that instead of a gasket it uses an 'o' ring to mount to the engine?

Thats a good thought, but i have checked with tension gauge and its at spec, maybe just a touch under.

Its just about the only thing i havent tried. All the belts are in excellent alignment, pulleys are straight, i have a hayden clutch fan, and i have switched between it and another one, and keep having these issues, driving me nuts!

Pulley is good, fan is straight, but was thinking I might strip off the powder coat, and just paint it. Maybe that coating has thrown the fan out of balance. Seems odd that 3 pumps would have issues with the shaft/bushings and seal.

If its the 8 blade impeller, those are all i have used. Beginning to think it might be my fan causing the issues, as its powder coated, and maybe its the extra weight and just may be enough to cause issues,. Not sure howerver.

I think those are the same build as the Mopar performance ones, and the housing is identical to those and i have had one of those fail already.

Just wondering what everyone uses for small block water pumps. I now have to replace the third pump on my 340 in 1500 miles. the first one failed when the shaft moved and caused the pump to squeal real loud because the bearing seized up, the second one did the same thing but ground on the...

I got a water pump bolt set from Classic Industries for my 340, 5 years ago, no issues with it what so ever.

Cant go wrong with Glen-Ray for quality, originality, and a company that stands behind their product!

I always put just a thin, cant stress thin enough, coat of Permatex black sealer on both sides of the gasket, torque to spec, let sit for 24 hours, then off you go! I have not had a leak yet and I am using aftermarket housing.

I don't see a part number stamped on my fan, but its a 7 blade.

I think I am gonna have to drop the heater box and pull the evaporator and send it to be cleaned, or replaced, I think there is some grit still in it from when it was cleaned.

Expansion valve is clean. Got another drier on the way, cheap, only 35 bucks. Hopefully that will take care of the problem. If it doesn't, then there must be some contamination inside the evaporator, but I doubt that since it was cleaned with high pressure solvent for AC systems.

That is the filter that goes on the hose before the ETR valve on the low pressure side, so yes, suction. What is a TXV, do you mean the expansion valve??

I think this stuff is coming from a faulty drier/receiver, but I am curious if anyone has thoughts on what is this stuff causing my AC filter on the low pressure side to keep getting clogged? The system RV2 compressor was completely rebuilt, the drier/receiver was supposedly reconditioned, the...
