Belts somthing not right ???

[autofetish]

On the engine there is a crank pulley with 4 groves for fan belts
starting from engine towards the front bumper

1st grove is empty

2nd grove is a belt to alternator and the alternator keeps it tight.

3nd grove is power steering pump and uses the pump adjustment to keep it tight.

4th grove is to water pump/fan and no adjustment the belt is slipping and cant tighten.







what am i missing ???

Should go round crank, alternator and then water pump , pas belt OK and they probably used one other for A/C comp good job you have not got a serpent belt !!!!

[autofetish]

but then my water pump does not line up with my alternator.

do i need a diffrent pulley onto the water pump with a big dish off set ??

[autofetish]

or diffrent alternator brackets ???

[JohnR]

OK so does the PAS, crank and water pump line up ? if so go with that but the alt,water and crank should line up unless someone has buggered with it

Water pump only lines up with the 4th grove on the crank hub and nothing else.

The pully on the water pump has no off set

Looks like it , as I think they have just mixed up different parts to get it going did it have A/C and they have taken it off ??????? or W/P may have failed and thay slung something on there ?????

[autofetish]

it was a non ac car and no parts ect.

So looks like i need this pully

Found oil leaks to be sump gaskets on engine and G box and rocker cover gaskets have striped all sumps off in the rain in the street yesterday and will get some parts on monday

( still love it and full of enthusiasm)

Hey AutoF,

You should get some photos and a proper intro of the car on Members cars!!

Hey Wil your cars not an A/c car but the 400 may have been from a A/c car. ??

Alternator belt should normally be triangulated fitment ( via crank, water pump, alt) to keep tension.
one of those grooves should match up

just so you know there are a lot of different pulley set ups...Dunc might have a something

Yes i will i have been so busy covered in oil trying to get the sumps off with a couple of old spanners from my grandad in the street have not had time. I will get the camera out tomorrow.

autof -

Couple of pics from my engine installation - As stated above, belts for water, alt etc should run triangulation, and power steering off another.
The pulley on mine is only 2-groove.

I went through similar, and got all my pulleys from '440source' for very reasonable price. All shiny and new, bolted on first time. (Get the right belts too ! US ones have different profile, Euro ones will slip/wear !)

Cant see your pics clearly - photobucket doesnt link ?

[autofetish]

Thanks

Looks like the water pump is off a motor home or something as the bottom hose is way to big for the rad.

You engine is very clean wish mine was that nice



ps. thanks for the head up on us euro belts i dint know that
