Well, I am ready to put my car into paint and when I was removing my radiator I noticed that the crank pulley on my V6 was wobbling - not a good thing. So, I pulled my pulley off the crank and found that the center piece, that keys onto the front of the crank shaft, is separate from the part that the belt goes onto. Now, originally there was an additional pulley bolted onto the crank pulley, so, when I removed it, I didn't think those bolts had anything left to do, so I got rid of them. Now I know that you have to put those back in to hold the whole assembly together.
Now, mind you, Jose had told me this quite a while ago, but it obviously went in one ear and out the other, or somehow, I didn't think it applied to me, but the good news is that despite all of my racing around, no damage was done.
Attached are a few photos of when I pulled the pulley off, and then one with all of the correctly installed bolts. Just in case there is someone out there that doesn't think those bolts are required once the additional pulley is removed.
Scheduled to go into the paint booth next Saturday...I will record the event.
