First off, have you watched the video that came with the shroud? It thoroughly goes over belt geometry and how to set it up correctly with adjustments to the generator stand.
All TIV engines are different slightly and all shrouds are also different because each is handmade, but we do so on top of a complete TIV longblock. This way we know that all shrouds are correctly set up when they leave the facility. I have worked to standardize the DTM since I bought the rights to it in 2003, prior to this the late Joe Locicero made each shroud by hand with standard parts so variances were abundant fitting wise.
Due to variances with the shroud and the engine case it may be necessary to shim the lower pulley to attain proper geometry.
Note that the alternator pulley used has an impact on this set up as well as the position of the generator stand and even the generator/alternator chosen.
Did the shroud come from me or was it an Oregion Performance kit? Note that last year there were some "Fake" DTMs floating around being sold as Oregon Performance kits! These were junk and I certainly hope you didn't buy one of these...
