I just noticed the other day that mine had a very subtle wobble to it. I would have to guess that it is only 1/8 or 1/16 from perfect. I don't see any belt problems just a little bit of wear. How concerned should I be?

Hmm wonder if the balancer bolt is loose??? If so get it fixed immediately.

You should be very concerned.. This is a common problem, and can cause ALOT of damage if its not fixed. It will do nothing but get worse, and ultimately begin to destroy things if it gets to bad..

If I were you, since you need to pull it anyways, i'd go ahead and pick up a 10% underdrive pulley and free up 8 or so rwhp. Or, get nasty and do a 25% underdrive and make even more power.

If your concerned about charging problems, I also have a 10%-25% overdrive on the alternator pulley as well.

Or since it's that far apart, Cam & Heads.... :D

I would listen to these two fellas! They might know what they are talking about!:party: Also, if you are going to do that, or have to, I would do the underdrive 25% and grab some ponies!
