I think there may be some differences and possibly between the tall block and the common block, but I can't say for sure. I just seem to recall it coming up in a post a long time ago.

Also, keep in mind that the bearing is a press fit and if it was pressed in to the wrong depth, that would change things. In that situation, it could be a manufacturers issue (defective part).

Something's not right here. You had a crank pulley sticking out too far, and now a timing belt tensioner sticking out too far?

Ha-ha Bob , great that you follow my prosses.

Thats right , but i think the crank pulley is posisioned right, maybe 1mm wrong, i shimmed the waterpump-pulley a little( that i think had a fail from factory) and all together it lines up well now..

The one on the left side seems wrong for my 86, ( I suppose it has been ordered wrong when earlier owner changed timing-belt)
The one to the right comes from a le-baron seems to be the right one for me

I have been Chrysler mechanic since 1959, the first thing I would like to know is; Exactly what engine do you have in your car?
Is it the original engine? Is there a possibility of showing a photograph of your timing belt system?
You do want to be using a belt part number ending in 071 and the adjustable belt pulley should fit the width of that belt with slight clearance for shoulders on pulley. The correct belt tensioner 'weight' should be used when setting belt tension.
If all these things are correct, is the cam sprocket the correct one for this engine? There were cam sprockets used on the DOHC 2.2L Chrysler TC by Maserati which were slightly narrower, could someone have mistakenly used one of these sprockets?
