Balancer and Water Pump Pulley, VERY CLOSE

I got a different brand of water pump, pictured in the handbook as "high flow", same dimensions. So shims it is. Waiting by the mailbox again.

If your block is decked 50 thou, it would loose 50 thou space. The dual and triple pulleys are a different size. and offset. If the water pump , water pump pulley or crank pulley differ from OEM spec, then, yeah, a 3/16" spacing could become way less.

There is also a change from 4 bearing 170's to later 200's in pulley to front cover spacing.
I didn't even think about that, took .020 off the head too.

Really? It fit's/works or it doesn't. You buy something for a falcon six it should work. If it always doesn't then it should come with what makes it work. I hope that's not the case. Sure we can make things work and yipee
I just ordered billet water pump pulley from Matt. Unfortunately he's out til the 10th. So I'll be waiting. W/p pulley diameter is an inch smaller, and less deep.
