Am I mistaken here about the shims? Removing the shims brings the pulley gap closer correct? Sure it does...that's why were running with no shims presently. Anyway, I read one of your posts about the pulleys..."One pulley supplier says that the adjustment has to be made a few times before it is finally set. I would not use one of these pulleys as the springs will be prone to early failure. The set up should be like the OEM pulley and not in any other way at all. " ...and I wanted to know if you are saying that pulley bolt needs re-torquing after running it in which might change the gap. I haven't tried to re-torque my SC pulley yet and should it be done cold or hot?...Thanks in advance...peace
