Although not as close as spec would like it to be, I think it will have to do. With the added scattershield during this procedure, I am now confident that the grenaded pulley issue is fully behind me and its on to further upgrades. I think that a new IC pump couldn't hurt things at all. Oh, and a fresh solder job for the RCM wouldn't hurt. It gave a check engine code today for its first time. I swapped it with one that TighEd had done from one of the other xfires so I can send it out....Peace 'yall
Surely pushing the bearing farther into the pulley moves the clutch plate closer to the front of the car, effectively increasing the gap between the clutch plate and the magnet.
I measured my spare pulley and found that the bearing had very little clearance, a .001" feeler would not go in front or behind the bearing. Another spare bearing measured .0015" under 23 mm (.9055") making it .9040" thick.
So my bearing could not be moved by any significant amount if I was to try.
