I got the power steering pulley back on today and torqued down to 155ft/lbs. The results are the same as it was before I started, only now the power steering pulley is as centered as I can get it. 4bars at cold, <1bar at hot.

You can see from the first picture that there's a raised metal lip that's formed inside the ring of the power steering pulley. The crank bolt washer isn't seating properly inside the pulley, which might be attributing to the problem at this point.

At this point, seeing the pulley in such bad shape, it should be replaced. There's no way I can manage to seat the washer properly and have the pressure on the pulley working (from the bolt) with the distortion in the ring. This is best, yes?

I'm frustrated.
