Have you considered a BMD serpentine pulley? I think they are the best pulley systems around. They come with all the hardware need for easy install. Check this guy out, his name on here is Turboblue (Gary) www.davisracing.com Very knowledgeable and he sells BMD's. You also might want to take into consideration that useing that many shims, the contact area of the crank and pulley is minimal and these pulleys will take care of that problem. Talk to Turboblue and see what he suggests.

If you go that route try to find someone with a lathe or take it to a machine shop and have it cut. If you grind too much off of one side you will offset the balance of the motor and wear out bearings faster than you want. It might be better to pay a couple bucks now than replace bearings later. Good luck!

Are you sure your seal is not stuck to you pulley and is spinning in the housing? Most of the time you need to J B weld it in.Just a thought.MIKE
