In each shot there are two pumps shown. Both pumps are "supposed" to have between 3.5 and 4k miles on them. One pump is GG's the other pump is an older Autopac (I'm pretty sure) rebuild. In the later case I'm pretty damn sure it has actually only run about 4k miles cause I have the records from Greg "Doc" Brown who put it in about 6 years ago. I'm sure no one will be surprised to know that all the associated belt parts looked almost new. (I'm sure you won't mind, Doc, that I replaced that old one with a brand new Porsche pump with a plastic impeller.)
On GG's pump it looks like the entire pulley/bearing/impeller assembly migrated in the pump casting towards the block. The impeller and pulley are flush with the shaft on both pumps. GG's pulley is closer to the pump casting by about the same amount the impeller is spaced away from the casting. It is also interesting to not the difference in the pulleys.

One more thing...
here's the washer stack that we took out of the tensioner. No points if you see what's wrong. Minus 928 points if you don't.

Thanks for the pics Dave.Sure looks like the cartridge moved but I think there was also an overtensioned and bacd tracking belt that facilitated the move.The press tolerance between the bearing and housing are critical but without some outside lateral force pushing or pulling it really wouldn't move.If the belt alignment was theoretically perfect,then the cartridge would remain stationary in the housing,held in place by the tension of the belt.Ed

What problem do you see besides ...
... that the stacks are wrong?
Should be 7 opposed stacks of 5 with the short stack of 5 at a specific end of the assembly (I always look at the WSM to check so don't remember which end) although that part of it may not matter.
