Pulley alignment

[OGCollard]

Hey guys. Well, engine rebuild is at 350 miles and going. Couple tweeks and such i have had to do. I have two small oil leaks i have to find and a belt issue. I did not know about pulley alignment. I put everything together and i have pretty significant chirp that goes away when warm. Does anyone have an easy way to check pulley alignment with engine in the car and/or determine where my chirping is coming from to make it go away?

Use a yard stick across the end of the pulley and pointing to the next one. They should be pretty even

Pulley alignment? I wouldn't know how to change them. When the harmonic balancer was coming apart the alignment was wrong.

Yeah, I just have to find the source of that chirp and get rid of it. it is super annoying and assume it will lead to belt failure...can any of you guys point me to some resources to learn about the front end axle/suspension assembly? I am thinking I want to do some work on it when I lift it in a few weeks but don't really know where to start. I assume ball joints since it creaks from front drivers side wheel when going slow at full turn
