[QUOTE="Dewalt03Cobra, post: 16490676, member: 12357"] Yes you are correct Metco lower pulleys are NOT self centering. I've installed 3 of these over the years, my own car was the first and by far the worst, and all 3 had to be tapped in to center. Mine had .058" of play, the second one had .020" play and the last had .038" play. The second install on my friend's car with only .020" play looked good after install (could not see a wobble while running) until we checked it using a dial indicator and found it had .020 play (.010 each direction). That might have been ok but my friend wanted it better like mine. So I tapped each of them into center to less than .001". The centering process is a pain in the butt. You need to keep loosening the bolts, gently tapping the pulley in, locking the bolts back down, rotating the crank with the indicator on and finding the high spot and the repeating the process till the total indicator reading was less than .001". Good Luck it's easy it just takes time. [/QUOTE]
