Crank Pulley not on straight

[Glenn from Denv]

Hi all,

I have recently rebuilt/reinstalled my RSR motor and when I fired it up for the first time, I noticed that the crank pulley isn't on quite straight. It wobbles a bit when the motor is turning over.

Is there an easy way to straighten it out without pulling the motor again?

remove it with the engine in the car, and get a new one !
I like to use blue loctite on that bolt

You have to support the engine with a jack or jack stand, then remove the mount bar and the front mount (and sheet metal) to get to it. Pain in the butt, but not difficult. You may also have to take off the muffler (can't remember).

I was afraid of that...It's the PITB part that I was trying to avoid.
