Trying to install BBK under pulleys on my 02 GT and I am having issues. The water pump pulley sticks out approximately 1 inch further than it should, in order to line up with the balancer pulley. It is inline with the old balancer pulley. It appears to be the right kit for the car based on all the reference sites I've looked up. Has anyone had any experience with this type of problem?

 

Ford changed the water pump sometime during the new edge production run. link

 

Yep, in mid '01 the waterpump changed shaft lengths. Those are the piggyback style pulleys you have there and 99% of us recommend against them for a number of reasons. Steeda or March with the SFI approved dampers are the best. Most have Steeda.

 

i just installed my steeda pulleys yesterday and they are great! very easy install. but it rained so it took me like an extra hour.

 

Now, if you're tuner will allow you, advance the timing from 10 to 14 degrees and run 91/93 octane. I run 89 without any problems, but most dont' recommend it.

 

superchips wont let me do much..... im returning it on monday and gonna order the SCT package with the 4.10's. sound like a good idea?

 

Sounds good, but I thought SCT was superchips? Are they different companies?

 

im guessing they are. i have the Superchips Max Microtuner.
