Well, I only have a couple questions to ask about this one. Did all
of the pulleys check out good as far as the bearings go? The
tensioner could be pushing it out towards the cover. Are you sure
that none of the pulleys are warped? A warped unit can cause the same
problem. Just a couple of thoughts.
