Back together again. Belt on with about 45deg twist. Routed to the Haynes SOHC with aircon. Made sure floating sprocket on Crank was centred with 2 pins.
Started up fine. Noisy! It is the bottom pully I think. The belt is undulating badly, so something is eccentric. Would poor timing cause belt to jump up and down? I only put a new one on as I was going in there . The old one was ok.

Tomorrow I will put the old one back on. See how that goes and will update.

Old Crank pulley back on............Donk is back in business :lol:
New crank pulley was cheapo. It could be manufacturing fault or more likely the wrong one for car. Same dimensions but there are so many other factors like weight etc. I knew there was nothing wrong with original pulley, so I thought I could not justify a £100 item.
I will get back to supplier.

New belt Jim. The way I worded in last post ,it looked like I was putting old belt back on.........it was old crank pulley back on I meant.
The Donk knew better Davie..........it was back on to Blackpool beach for it, if there was any more nonsense! :lol:
