Ive recently got my engine running but have a couple of issues.
One is that I have 12 rib pulleys and currently only using a 6 rib belt. But when I fit the belt on the inner grooves, once driving ( I assume at high rpm's ) the belt travels to the outside of the pulleys.
There is good belt wrap, and its a manual tensioner, which is secured pretty tight. There wouldnt be any real slippage issues yet for all the power/boost Im running.
The grooves appear to be inline with each other.
I assume this means the blower pulley and crank pulley arent running along the same plane ? even if the grooves appear to be in-line ?
Ive already tore one belt due to this, so something is up. Bracket flex wouldnt be a major issue, although it does move a little bit when tensioning.
I can remove or fit thinner washers in the area circled which would move the head unit in the direction indicated.
The belt is travelling in the opposite direction, which makes me thing it is tilted forward a bit ??
