Default Re: 57 Nomad Project.........

Things like that are maddening. I am putting together an El Camino. Got the engine in and started it and realized the PS belt was rubbing slightly on the WP pulley. Checked all the bracketry, and then realized the fan hub was not pressed on the WP shaft quite far enough. So, off comes the WP, take it apart, so I can support the shaft and press the hub on another 1/8 inch. It is all about quality control. No one bothered to check that your kit needed a very specific size of O ring. No one bothered to check the installed height of my WP hub.

Just be glad you were working on something that didn't require engine removal to get the oil pan off.
