Minimal Pulley Clearance: Should I be Concerned (with pics)


CC57

Recommended Posts

Trying to install a Racemate combination water-pump/alternator on my Mod’s 383.

 

The gap between the 2 pulleys is maybe a ¼”. I figure the crank side of the arrangement should (better) have minimal movement off of center. But I’m not too sure about the water-pump side.

 

Do you think I have or will have an issue?

 

And if you’re wondering, the size difference between the pulleys works out to about a 0.93 ratio. So at a crank speed of 8,000 RPM, works out to around 7,400 RPM on the water-pump side.

 

Thanks all

Don't see a problem as long as you keep your finger out of there.

 

 

lol! That should not be a problem.

 

Anyway, the consensus on this and another board is there shouldn't be problem.

 

Thanks for the replies all.
