Somehow posted the below on the wrong thread. User error….

Had a new alternator pulley installed to replace the deformed one that came with my FCP Euro rebuilt alternator and was almost certainly the cause of the car eating and barfing out main belts at inopportune times. I have the pulley and will post a pic later.

Since the car was in the shop for the pulley and a once-over by a fresh set of eyes to check my handiwork, I had my two Cardone $40 (each, on sale) “remanufactured OEM” rear axles installed (broken boots both sides), some stainless braided brake lines I have had laying around for a while installed with a flush and bleed, and two new rear ABS sensors installed to hopefully take care of an occasional code I was getting.

She’s back on the road again and ran strong around town all day yesterday. So far I’m not seeing any unexplained coolant loss, so hopefully I dodged a huge bullet and didn’t burn up any head gaskets when it shed the belt and overheated the first time. I’m thinking about starting an oil testing history with the car, but have read varying opinions on how useful this is. Internet being what it is. I ordered a few bottle kits from blackstone and the test isn’t expensive.

I’ve got about 1100 miles on the the new motor so it’s time to change the oil at some point this month.
