So am I to assume i need more shims? and realign it again? maybe the pulley wasn't all the way back at the stops when i installed it? maybe something was off with the pulley and now that i ran it the pulley is right but my gap is set wrong?
Ask EC what the initial setting should be, the other after market pulley said it should start with a huge gap and when the so called spring gets stretched you should end up with the correct gap. I got $hit when I said that it could not be a spring in the proper sense of the word.
