Is the following normal?







I tried both VQ35DE and the VQ30DE crankshaft harmonic blance pullys both had the same result.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks

If I saw this earlier, I would have checked my VQ30DE as I am redoing the upper oil pan half moon seals on my second 4th gen. I will look in the morning but if I were to take a guess, that is not normal. The belt would not hold and I would ask you where is the PS pump from? I believe the 3.5 pump is different from 3.0. Get a 3.5 PS pump.

The power steering pump is from a VQ30DE. I did not know I needed a VQ35DE for the 3.5 swap.

I'll pick up a 3.5 power steering pump tomorrow at a salvage yard.

The engine is from a 2006 Altima SE-R 3.5. It had a CVT transmission.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Edit: iI'll try putting on a belt tomorrow to see how it aligns.

I don't see how my VQ30DE power steering pump is going to work with my current setup. I have tried everything. I'm just going to go pick up a 2004 or greater VQ35DE power steering pump from the salvage yard. It's father's day so there is a special going on.

Somethings bent. They're all the same. Or should be right?

The actual pump is the same on the 2006 Altima and the Maxima, but the mounting bracket and the pulley are different.

SOLVED:

I had the power steering pulley installed backwards. Flipping the pulley around makes the two pulleys align now.

Thanks everyone for the help!
