Hello first let me explain my situation, i bought this as a project because the previous owner trashed it.. i got it had to re straighten frame parts and re do fenders and hood then after about 9 mos and

Spec Stage 3 6puk clutch
new drive shaft
new apexi air intakes
new vacuum lines
front and rear sway bars
a few assorted hoses

i was able to drive it for a few more moths until the coolant O rings failed and i was burning 6 cups of water for every gallon of gas. i pulled the engine and stored it until i had the money to get parts.

after a divorce i had the money to get

new 2mm 2 part apex seals
solid courner seals
new vitton oul rings
thermal pellit from atkins
cermet coated rotor housings from jhb performance
high temp silicone reuseable collant O rings
etc etc, ( lots of accorted seals and gaskets

i have the engine put together and in the car and it ran for a moment but poorly.
so we troubleshot and i found a sensor that was not connected.. its the single wire one under the two wire behind the thermostat. after i connected it a ground wire fried and then i was not getting spark. we troubleshot some more and we saw my pulley boss wobbling.. i read in the book this could be caused by a needle bearing..

Please help me, i have wanted to drive this poor thing for 2 years now and i am soo frustrated. i would accept any help i can get other than someone saying to drop a Chevy 350 in it. i hear that too much already and it makes me want to vomit.

thank you rotary brethren.

So, are you looking for help how to solve the wobbling front pulley?

 

well mainly just trying to figure out what if anything i can do to fix it without pulling out the engine. my friend from the CWrotary club came over and we tried to gett the front cover off to fix the needle bearing but to no avail im 1 bolt away and it looks like ill have to pull the engine
