Ah ok… thanks! I only noticed it because after I’d got the belt on and removed the timing pins I slowly cranked 1 rotation and heard a tapping noise after each compression - discovered that it was the pulley as it was snapping back against the keyway. Pulley on old engine had zero play so assumed that was how it should be. Surely it shouldn’t slide off easily though? I can pull it off with practically zero resistance. Although I suppose it can't come off with the big pulley bolted on in front.
