Crank and water pump pulleys don't line up

1/16"???!!!  The V-belt will not be affected by that much offset.  Run
it.....

> I finished re-assembling the engine from my '86 (8V, JH) last night and
noticed that the water pump and crank pulleys don't line up.  The water pump
pulley is about 1/16 inch closer to the block.  The timing belt sprocket on
the crank lines up with the one on the intermediate shaft, so I think the
sprocket is correctly attached to the crankshaft, and the crankshaft is
installed in the engine correctly.  The crank pulley seems to be seated
correctly against the sprocket. I don't know what the pulleys were like
before I took the engine apart.

pump (I used the one the PO put on the engine, since he replaced it right
before toasting the engine) or I have the wrong water pump pulley.

to know what's really wrong before I do that.

yesterday and found that with the seatback reasonably upright, I have about
1 inch of headroom (I'm 5'9").  Sounds like I may have Golf/Jetta seats in
my MKII.
