There are plenty of other forums this with type of biting attitude, I know as I have stopped frequenting them.

+1. That's why I never joined Mini2 or outmotoring. I was once warned by the site admins for me posting something about sreet racing, and I hated it. Now, I know that good sites have good admins always awake to make sure everything goes perfect. I never delt with Mark before, I just read his posts, but now I beleive he's a good guy.

Well, after 200Km of driving for 2 days now, I'm 99% sure that the SC shaft is aligned and perfect. Looking at the SC and the pulley from all sides show it's perfect and never bent. The vibrations are noticed only on the IC, engine and engine dampers. Also, I've noticed that the coolant running temp has gone higher. I'm using the following combo on the coolant:
50% BMW coolant + 1 bottle of Water Wetter + 50% distilled water.

I was running slightly less than the mid of the coolant gauge before. Any comments?
