I think you are up there near the power center these days. It is along the same line as drag queen story hour, network news, the Cia,, and no bible at school.
That should help.
It's neat and all, but, I don't get it. Which is fine. They seem small and way too much money for what they are bordering on obscenity. I'll stick with my sequoia and k2500 suburban. Does it seat 6?
That sucks.
From the looks of it, somebody "fed it the beans."
I've never even seen one. That is about the dumbest **** I've seen. How is that not going to get stuck in there?
I hunted down the brackets and rods between the motor mounts and the bellhousing before I sold the one I had.
I noticed the empty bolt holes and had to figure out what was missing.
I'd start with a new belt.
If the spring has travel and would not interfere with a slightly smaller belt, then I'd compare the existing belt with the replacement before modifying anything to fit a stretched or wrong belt.
If the belt is too tight, you will wear out your bearings.
I'd think a...
I keep seeing "power band" in relation to a 4 stroke.
Am I crazy? You would be run out of town, but, not before your crucifixion for suggesting that a gas burning truck has a "power band" when I was coming up. And I've been accused of being "from the city."
I'm not much help, but, I'd start looking in this direction.

How long was it run with it knocking?
I had a guy put new rod bearings in my 4.3 for $250 and it has been lightly used several times a week for around 3 years or more now.
I parked it as soon as it started.
I'd never own one due to crash tests.
I had goid luck with the BG 3 part fuel injection cleaner on my 4.3. A shop would have to do it, preferably one that already sells BG.
The shop local to me that sells BG doesn't stock the 3 part deal.
Our card does all the fraud calculations.
I don't have to submit receipts.
Just put five in and get five out into a can later.
Just tell the boss the situation and see if they would have a problem with it.
If you let people in the door, then you are already in the "circle of trust,"
