The idler bracket does not appear to be bent. The bearings/bushings all turn smooth and free. The PTO(runs through front axle) turns free and smooth.
If the vacuum actuator were to leak, wouldnt't that just make it disengage?
I don't understand why that would make the belt come off of the idler pulley. If it would/might, please explain how/why?
As far as engine alignment goes, I am just using the bolts and bolt holes that came from the factory. Due to clearance between the holes and bolts the engine can be moved slightly forward, slightly rearward, slightly to the right or left, or slightly rotated, clockwise, or counter clockwise. Should I try to find the "most neutral" position for the engine or how should it be aligned.
I read a thread where a guy had R&Id his engine and then had issues with the PTO Belts. This makes me think there is a right way and a wrong way to position the engine. I want to do it the right way, but not sure what the right way is.
