just be carefull with the belt kit you have as the bottom pully (crank end) is very tight on the crank. I heard from a very reliable source that they made all these pullies then realised they made a bit of a fopar and realised the key way on every crank is at a different height.
DO NOT KNOCK ON THE PULLY as it will strech the outside of the pulley and you will leak oil from day one.
the pulley must slide on nicely onto the crank.
unlike mine which was a little tight so i tapped it on thinking it was the anodizing had made it tighter but NO it was the key was higher up than to be expected and deformed the bottom pulley causing a major oil leak and now i have to change the belt in a few weeks time when it take the motor out.

Yes, it's important to make them a nice slide on fit. If you start using levers or drifts on them, you will bruise the teeth and it will chew the belt.
Same goes for the cam pulley... :wink:

Polish inside the pulley and the outside of crank, with fine wet/dry paper. Pay attention to the corners of the keyways, and the key fit. :wink:

Watch out Cody!!!

That's the same gasket set I used on JAM's 1115 motor. The gasket for clutch housing to block is too thin, and made my idler gear end fload too little......

For my rebuild I bought an ACL set, and that particular gasket was .010" thicker!
