Solved! How to delete your smog pump on an 88 V6 car Reply #34 – January 19, 2011, 10:29:44 PM Good job ... BUT I think you should look into a ribbed pulley for the tensioner, I think with the smooth pulley you may get slipping problems with higher RPMs Quote Selected
Solved! How to delete your smog pump on an 88 V6 car Reply #35 – January 19, 2011, 10:59:41 PM As far as I can tell, just by revving it and looking/listening, there doesn't seem to be any problems. But, that is something I will consider. It would most likely consist of having to change the actual pulley (not the whole arm) out probably from a shebby or something cause I don't think ford ever made any ribbed tensioners. Quote Selected

I'll grab one up this weekend:D It's kinda funny cause my PS pulley is one of the plastic ones from a MN12. I had to replace it cause I warped mine back when I was totally green and didn't know how to get it off and tried to get it off with a prybar:hick: Thx man I didn't even think to look:dunce:Those bolts are reverse threaded aren't they?

Go ahead. Ask me.:poke: Quote Selected

Solved! How to delete your smog pump on an 88 V6 car Reply #44 – January 24, 2011, 10:04:26 PM Here is a clean pic of the final (for now) setup. Ribbed pulley included.Whats bugging me is that now my alt pulley is squealing at me big time. And its not the belt, its definately the bearings. I thought before it was cause my alt was shot, but with the new one its still doing it, and I think actually worse. The deflection angle off the top of the pulley really didn't change that much, but maybe thats the cause? Quote Selected
