Either way once assembled and running you can visualize any belt runout and or pulley wobble if any thru the rpm range. If no probs, chalk it up to another case of der gremlins seeking tribute.  |
I went out and looked at the 602 in my 91 300D. No washer.
Hmmm. Could have sworn there was one on some car.
I mean, a bit of misalignment can make all sorts of issues. I’ll need to go look at the 93 tomorrow…
