Few weeks ago i got an LS installed on my car(90 civic), but i got a problem. My crank pulley rubs on the tie rod when i hit bumps. The mounts i got werent that great so im guessing they positioned the motor out of whack. Now, my suspension consists of ractive coilovers and stock pretty much gonzo shocks, its shyt and its pretty soft. Im planning on doing suspension work soon, if i stiffin up the ride u think it'll help, keep in mind i wanna lower it again but obviously i cant too much.

if this doesnt help i cant think of anythin else but to change the mounts.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

you should be able to change to a ctr n1 pully and just run the alt. this would work unless you still have ac or power steering(doubtfull on an ef)
thats what i would do....
good luck man

good call... yeah I'd try to get a smaller pulley so it doesn't hit anymore, but it makes me wonder how your axle geometry is???

 

is a ctr pulley smaller? cuz ive heard ppl bashing aftermarket pulleys, how their stressfull for the motor and whatnot

 

a ctr pulley is only a single drive pulley. It doesn't have 3 sprockets (i guess thats what they're called....lol) to run the power steering pump, a/c compressor and alternator, it only has one to run the alternator.
