[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15256931, member: 8854"] My idlers all got brand new bearings at rebuild (approx 800 miles ago, I need to check odometer) so probably not a bearing. However when I put the IW damper on and the 4 lb ring I also installed the metco bracket and idler on the side. I need to look that stuff over closer. Now that I think about it when I had the alternator out and put the 3.2 Metco on it and spun it by hand it didn't look entirely true on the spin. Almost like it had a small wobble. Not just the pulley but the entire shaft of the alternator, I swapped the stock pulley back on and observed the same motion. I discounted it as me not looking at it properly since the alternator's been on the car quite some time and working fine but maybe with the larger pulley the slight off center wobble of the shaft is amplified. However when the belt first shreds it's off the crank pulley so I'll check around that area first. [/QUOTE]
