Originally posted by TomInSC To preface, The crank pulley is not warped or cracked. I have been alternating between two good pulleys that I have to ensure that this is not the issue. The crank pulley is torqued to 105 lb-ft.
I had my first struggle with our stock crank pulley, when I did my t-belt change back in '03. When I put it back on, I must've had is slightly crooked because from then on, my ps/ac belt would do exactly what you describe. I removed the pulley and re-installed it many times, but same issues. I eventually went down to a 4-rib belt so that it would stay on(in one piece). When I did my full rebuild last year, I bought an underdrive pulley that isn't a press-fit and bolts using the 3 crank gear threaded holes, and have not had a problem since. I realize you say that yours it proper and torqued, I just thought I would throw my $.02 in.
