Well, when you post late at night and then repost within an hour, the odds *are* stacked against you for a prompt response.
I'll take a stab & say the pulleys aren't aligned... or one is unbalanced, so that at high rpm when the belt is turning faster, it is more unstable than at lower (sub-4000) rpms, and hence is thrown off. I recall a recent thread about checking pulleys for balance by using a stethescope (or similar) device, where you can "hear" the unbalance/vibration occurring. I don't suggest playing Doctor with a stethescope on the block though, you might nuke your eardrums :SaiyanSmi Good luck -Dave- |

Doesn't this occur when there is play backwards and forwards in the crank?

Could be the pump mounting not as tight or complete as it should be either.
Look at pulleys and mounts for the defective units. May even be another belt, they usually throw all of them. |
