I thought I'd let y'all know what an idiot I am.  I coulda swore
I had tightened that pump to within an inch of its life.  Maybe
too tight.  It must have been a dream 'cuz the power steering pump
was loose, way loose.  I had tightened the adjusting bolts but
didn't tension the belt at all.  Now its all good.  I'm going to
blame it on the uncomfortable position one must be in to work on
these engines.  Yeah that's it.  And I'm not used to having so many
belts. Yeah yeah!
The winner of tonight's mystery meat contest is Jeffrey Corbin
who guessed "some kind of beef." No it was Shawn Wright who said
"More likely the belt is too loose"  Good thing I checked, eventually.
