OK, now how do I fix this?

My belts have a case of the squeaks. Looking at the pulleys it seems my harmonic balancer is out too far... Whats the easy answer to fixing this?

 

Kind of hard to see in the pics. Looks like the pic is on an angle to me. If the Balancer has moved out, you either need to replace the balancer or you have a crank problem. I'd take a pry bar and see if the whole crank moves. If so it's time for a rebuild, or a different engine. They also make a spray that eliminates squeaks. Or new belts, if they can't be tightened. JMO

 

my belts werent in line and i got a shim kit for it. im not sure though if thats what you need

 

I'm with Don on this one check your crankshaft end play try to move the crankshaft in and out common for thurst bearing to wear and cause crank to walk forward which would make your pulleys be out of line if you let it go to long the crank will be junk

 

damn man you better get your car fixed before old town man we need all the mavericks we can get

 

I'm tellin ya

 

once I get this fixed and the new radiator in Ill be set. Ugly but set.

 

its all about the fun these are some what rare cars just seeing them people will like em

 

someone came into my shop the other day and said "nice pinto"..... *******.. lol

 

also check to see if the crank bolt has back out allowing the balancer to move out.

 

thanks for the tips... Im thinking it might actually be the water pump. All the other pulleys line up cept the pump..

 

i didnt know pintos could look nice LOL JKJK
