More on the Duratec Pulley Setup
By brad on Apr 19, 2010 | In Blog
I had a couple of requests for more information on the pulley setup, so here you go.
First, I've been unable to locate my receipt for the A/C delete pulley, which means I can't give you a part number. The best I can do is tell you to head to the Ford dealer, and get the parts guy to pull up the data for a 2005 Ford Focus 2.0L. It took my guy a little searching, but he found it and ordered it for me. You might have to review the image of the front of the engine to find it, but it's there.
OK, my first image is of the left side of the front of the engine. Alternator is in it's original position, and you'll also see the crank pulley lower right. The middle pulley is an idler, and was moved down to its current location from just above. You'll see a flange bolt in the front cover that is in a slotted hole, and a slight circular recess around that bolt. That's where the idler was originally. I moved it down to where you see it by removing one of the cover bolts, and adding an aluminum spacer as a standoff to provide the right spacing. If you look closely, you can see the spacer just behind the pulley. For reference, the tensioner had previously been below and to the left of this pulley. Here's the shot:
Next shot is over toward the other side. Bottom center, you see the water pump pulley, and above it is the bracket I made for the tensioner. Nothing fancy - just a 3/16" metal plate drilled to line up with the old power steering pump, and a second piece of plate cut and drilled to fit the tensioner mounting holes. I did some preliminary measurements, and bought a belt that would fit (NAPA 25-060551), then tacked the plates together in a position to have the tensioner at about 50% travel. Here's the photo.
Next, the camera moves down to catch the A/C delete pulley - the one that looks a little "pink". (Must be the reflection of the engine stand) You'll also see the crank pulley to the left and the water pump pulley above. The engine is made to accept this one, and you'll even notice a slight recess in the front cover corresponding with the edge of the pulley.
And finally, a full frontal shot with everything above. Obviously I don't have the tensioner or belt on, but you can see that shot on the other post.
I don't have a drawing of the bracket, but here is what I did:
1) Make plate to mount to engine using PS Pump or block as a pattern
2) Make plate to mount to tensioner using it as a pattern
3) Bolt both plates in place
4) Using clamps, locate the tensioner w/ plate in place on the engine plate
5) Adjust position using string and/or straight edges to ensure it is on the same plane and perfectly aligned
6) Double check, then tack it in place (NEVER WELD ON YOUR ENGINE IF THE COMPUTER IS HOOKED UP!! Make sure you isolate any sensitive devices from the engine or chassis before welding on it.)
Hopefully this gives you enough to go on.
Good luck to you, and if anyone comes up with the part number for the AC delete pulley, please post it for everyone's benefit.
