Alright, during my rebuild I did it all wrong. I basically took stuff off and put in a place in the garage, only labeling a few things. Anyways, in placing all these parts everywhere, I misplaced the spacer that goes between the pulley and the alternator. Its like a metal donut that looks like a cm thick washer. Basically, I want any ideas on what to put there instead, or where I can get one by tomorrow. Anyone know if the dealer stocks them, or if I could find something similar at home depot? Anyways, I am taking suggestions, I have everything ready to put in and start up my rebuilt motor, except this really... please help!

edit: I have a dual pulley now, if that makes a difference.

 

Come on man...just use some similar sized washers
or get one off a junk car.

 

yeah I was thinking that, I actually solved the problem, a friend is just going to give me an extra he has. thanks though.

 

There is no spacer between pulley and alternator.
1cm or so thick washer u talk is used to space out alternator on water pump housing....

 

 

Shiny blue pulley and really dirty engine bay

 

isnt it supposed to go on the other side?

 

yes, it is

 

are ya sure, because mine had one....

 

20 out of 20 our FC's say yes

 

Yea, I was having the same problem, got some washers and fixed it since my spacer seemed to dissappear into thin air

 

no seriously, mine has one, it goes right behind the pulley. the pulley would rub on the lip on the alternator otherwise. It even mentions it in the fsm. donno what your smokin!

 

mind to tell us page/section of FSM where u are looking at ?

i don`t smoke anything, i am just being ignorant sometimes and needs to be proved to be wrong....

i go to shop tomorrow, i`ll check out alts i have in box there....

 

oops, now i feel stupid. I was talking about the haynes man. not fsm, but to make it even worse, it doesn't even mention it afterall. Only the nut and "bush" which i assume means the washer that goes with the nut. I don't know, maybe mine was added on later or its an off brand alternator, but mine for sure had a spacer on it when i took off the pulley. Anyone else know what I am talking about? maybe im just insane...and sorry for the attack on you earlier hIGGI

i have to apologise here, sorry

checked today and there is spacer

 

Heh, no problem. I found the spacer today anyways...after I got an alternator from a friend. But mine makes a little noise when im spinning it so I am just going to use the new one after all.
