Well, I found out the hard way that VE pulleys don't work on the DET. Timing lines up fine but the spacing is off for the belts. DEs can use VE pulleys but not DETs. Alternatively, I could convert to the VE/DE water pump pulley and alternator but I'm not going to do that.

How much do I need to machine off the back of the DET pulley? Taarks says 5mm but I think I've also seen 3mm? What's correct? I should have measured the thickness of the Mazworx spacer before I put it in.
EDIT: I asked Mazworx and they said 5mm.
