Pulley rubbing Options

[j2sw]

The pulley on my 1998 2.0 non-turbo started rubbing yesterday. It has started to run into the side of my overflow bottle and the air conditioning lines underneath. My overflow bottle has marks from the top of the pulley digging into it. It has always been a tight fit, but it appears to have gotten worse. It just used to think it was the bottle bracket, but now it is not that. Has anyone else experienced this? I am fearing the worst. Things like messed up motor mount, etc. Just trying to narrow down what to look for. I am going to try and investigate this some more in the next day or so.

They dont put the 2.0 N/T mitsu engines in the 2G like in the 1G?  I assumed that was what they put in the GS package, RS was the 420A motor (1.8 replacement)

For future reference:

1G base motor = Mitsu 1.8 N/T

'90 to '92.5 1G GS, RS, ESI = 6 bolt Mitsu 2.0 N/T 4g63
'92.5 to '94 """""""""""""""""" = 7 bolt Mitsu 2.0 N/T 4g63 (crankwalker)

'90 to '92.5 1G GST, GSX, RST, TSI = 6 bolt Mitsu 2.0 turbo 4g63
92.5' to '94 """"""""""""""""""""""""""" = 7 bolt Mitsu 2.0 turbo 4g63 (crankwalker)

2G GS, RS, ESI = Chrysler 2.0 N/T 420A
2G GST, GSX, TSI = 7 bolt Mitsu 2.0 turbo 4g63 (crankwalker)
