Just slung both v-belts on my recently rebuilt 496.So,I'm checking pulley alignments and the water pump,alternator and PS pump all look fine.BUT,the pulley on the ATI super damper looks to be about 3/16" to 1/4" further toward the radiator than the other pullies.I tried turning the balancer bolt but its tight.Has anyone else encountered this?

Sounds like your balancer's outer ring has broken loose and is slowly walking off the hub!!

Better consider a new one before it lets go, that is if it isn't the hub moving..

BUT, the pulley bolt's to the hub, doesn't it??

So I donno????

The "ATI" balancer is a one piece unit. So......I guess I'll start with pulling it back off and inspecting everything.

Actually there are six torx bolts that hold the outer part to the hub. ;)
