| "Unfortunately, I await the "2mm is almost nothing" response." "Parrallel mis-alignment in this miniscule scale has not been proven to cause belt chirping (usually what is noticed with parrallel mis-alignment) much less 'speculative' water pump or alternator failure. This is industry jargon and you as a technician should know this correct? Speculation on a 2 mm parrallel mis-alignment is just that!" Moving the belt in any direction changes the tension on the bearings. Uneven tension on the bearings will cause premature wear. That's not speculation.
"When you say this, will you be surprised if your arguments seem to move about instead of staying put? And will you accuse me of being Daedalus who makes them move, though you are yourself much more skillful than Daedalus and make them go around in a circle? Or do you not realize that our argument has moved around and come again to the same place? [...] Or do you not remember?" - Socrates |
