[Shotimes] unbelievable-revisited

i know it does sound a little far fetched. the fact is i have seen all the 
old parts except the latest problem (the crank pulley) and there is no doubt 
that they all were bad. the power steering pulley or shaft was bad, it wobbled 
almost an inch to an inch and a half. visually seen the metal dust under the 
tension pulley laying on the center bolt, it was also very shaky when moving it 
with my hands. the water pump was the same way. the mec a nic stopped at the 
house this morning to tell me about the crank pulley. he said that there was a 
huge pile of rubber sediment even inside the plastic cover for the timing belt. 
the plastic cover was also cracked, and that two of the bolt heads were 
completely worn away from the rubbing of the pulley. he said he would only charge 
me for four hours labor for replacing all the parts. i guess that's fair. i 
still don't have a clue as to why all the parts went at one time. could it be 
because of the serpentine belt was being shifted almost an inch and a half 
causing excessive wear on all the other parts? the belt was just replaced last fall 
when it needed a new a/c clutch, needless to say the belt looks like it was 
put through a meat grinder. as for the used parts offered, i will let you know 
tomorrow as soon as i see what the mechanic found out today. thanks for all the 
input. oh-- will a crank pulley from a 95 3.2 fit a 93  3.2?
