Re: Unknow strange engine noise

Re: Unknow strange engine noise
Me too. And that would be the FIRST thing I checked. No way should that wobble that much on a 7000 rpm engine at idle. And it looked like it wasn't always consistent wobble which would tell me the bearings are bad in the Alt...

Alternator Pulley
Quote:
The Alternator pulley is a bit different unless it is just the bolt that has come loose on end of Alternator shaft. In that case, I modified a 15/16 box wrench to get at the nut on the alternator shaft (made sharper bend on Box end). I actually installed a different Alternator Pulley. See Item #9 Bling (Carter and Others) Brass Colored Alternator Pulley Ebay Brass Colored Alternator Pulley Delco CS130D Alternators 6 Groove Pulley 10476225 This pulley is identical in Outside diameter and Shaft Diameter of original Alternator Pulley. I very thin washer (3/64 inch thick) was used between the pulley and the cooling fins of alternator for exact Pulley spacing. Alternator, Spacer, Pulley, Washer, Nut, 5/16 inch Allen, 15/16 inch Box Wrench..........................Modifications to 15/16 inch Box Wrench (sharper bend on box end) Now if it is the Alternator shaft bearings, it is time to rebuild the Alternator or just replace the Alternator. The Alternator has to be removed (most likely the Plenum Removed) although some have suggested you can remove the Alternator without removing the Plenum...(I have always removed the Plenum as I have TB coolant blocked).

Re: Unknown strange engine noise
hello again
i didn't change the pulley yet but when i was cleaning the engine this week-end, i've noticed that one "wings" of the alternator was broken i guess is not big deal but just in case, i was looking for a new alternator do you know what is the difference between the one from ecklers http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1990-1995.html and the one from rockauto http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...487&cc=1041275 or http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...039&cc=1041275 there is more than 100$ difference |
