pulley alignment

Asked by OJ Nov 17, 2018 at 03:47 PM about the 1999 Ford Explorer 4 Dr XL SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I installed a remanufactured Motorcraft 4.0 OHV engine in the vehicle.  I
keep getting a squeaky belt.  Just installed a new Motorcraft belt and do not
have the squeak after completion.  However, the Dayco belt I took off has
only been on for about 7K miles.  The tensioner was replaced when the
engine was installed.  I know how to use the laser alignment tool for the
pulley, the question is; which accessory is adjustable (in and out) if the
pulleys are misaligned?  If none are adjustable, what alignment procedure is
used.

Thanks FOR. Eyeballed and it appears the longest run, between the water pump and AC compressor is slightly off. AC compressor back. Don't remember if there was an adjustment on the compressor when reinstalled. Used all the mounting brackets off the old engine.
