Who uses one?

I bought one of these kits:

for my motor and am having some trouble getting it to fit, as the crank pulley is fouling the timing case. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

are the 2 pulleys lining up properly? are they pulling all the way in when you bolt them up?

the listing says
"On 1996(mpi) onwards minis the plastic cover will need to be modified to clear crank pulley"
your sig lists a '94spi, but maybe there was a common issue?

I run an early kit, and the harmonic balancer hub has been shortened about 1.5mm.

Does the bottom belt pulley have a separate steel outer flange like mine, or is it part of the pulley? If no flange there it may be missing. Then the balancer/crank pulley will be too far in.

<edit> is it the cam belt pulley fouling, or the harmonic balancer?
