I measured (again tonight) this water pump and it is 110mm hub height, as stated @ Rock Auto. so it's not what my problem is, Also discovered tonight that the crank pulley is maybe only 2mm away from the timing belt cover so I can't move it back/closer to the crank.. So possibly the best solution would be to pull/move this hub 5mm higher/forward (then it would have 115mm hub height) for it's pulley to align with the crank pulley ... or I could use washers but I would think it might be better to fabricate a spacer disk out aluminum - or buy one - I'd think someone may have made some for all the poor guys who installed a 105mm that really needed a 110MM? and to "lighten the load" on the bearings I wish I could find a "flex fan without a clutch, and I know many guys say dump the mechanical fan but I like good simple "fall back" systems in case/when the electric one fails.. Thanks Craig

Thank You! I think I got my crankshaft timing belt sprocket(s) in backwards, WRONG - they're OK ** after lots more research it seems I must have my timing belt sprockets/cogs stacked in the correct order, so that's not causing this problem. ** https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/66578-crankshaft-timing-belt-sprockets-the-truth/page/3/#comment-552982 my cog/sprocket with the dot at 5.30 o'clock is not visible because it's the one closest to the crank i.e. they're correct. it really seemed that my crankshaft timing belt sprockets were sticking out too far - but all the other images and videos seem to look the same as mine..

Did you test the transistor ground in the car? They are famous for the coil bracket getting dirty, and the transistor loosing ground.
