Motor alignment

Have you checked to see if the clutches are parallel? CTC is far less critical than parallel and offset. Maybe over time the motor just settles back a bit. Won't matter much as long as you set belt deflection properly and it settles back evenly.
 
Yes they did look like they were out of whack.
I just loosened all of the mounts, wiggled the motor all around and let it sit back into its happy spot. I held it into position when tightening the mounts back up.
If it goes back out after this season and I blow some more belts I will look into some new mounts.
Not a lot of info out there on the subject.
 
I ordered the spacer tool, being a tech like have the tools to do the job.

Tonite I got the motor back into the chassis. Followed info from service manual. Put Ulmer's tool from the crankshaft to the jackshaft, everything line up like its suppose to. This is my 162" turbo sled. After is done, will have to look at my short track nytro c to c as its out.
 
You can make that tool out of a 13mm, 1/4" drive socket instead of paying a crazy price for it. Just use a cut off wheel on an angle grinder to cut out the notch.
