Kittens are soft but puppies let you pet/ cuddle with them ALL the time.

Q) What causes the belt to oscillate? It has a throw of about 1/4". The new belt moves from the crank to the water pump, then up to the Alt, then back down to the crank. It oscillates at the Alt/Crank section.

Remember the short cut you took, and it took a lot longer than you thought?

Whelp, last nights short cut cost towing and $20.00 in parts. The alt that needed to be spaced correctly, spun out the woodruff key. Can't just buy one, gotta but 5 of different sizes at 3.95 a pack. So its a 3.95 woodruff key. Sheesh.
2 trips in a taxi for 12.00 and waiting 45 minutes at the parts place did NOT help my mood.
The belt needed changing as the alt moved BACK to its original spot.

Now I wait till the battery charges to even see if the work, worked. What a day.

It also helps to fit a WORKING alt. Battery died and I just got towed home. Whelp, back to the garage......
