Ever since I have had the 8 rib set up on my car I have had nothing but belt issues. I'm so fucking tired of changing and buying belts. When I had the 6 rib, I had no issues at all.
Kit was not installed by me. I have checked everything for tightness and watched the pulleys moving and cannot see a broken or damaged pulley.
I thought it may have been the AC pulley being out of alignment because the belt would jump teeth. I replaced the AC with a delete pulley and bracket and it seemed to get better but now it's doing something else.
Currently the belt jumps rearward on the crank pulley (dampener) when I start it and then goes back into place when I turn the car off. I've got a 2 foot long metal straight edge and have confirmed everything but the crank pulley is in alignment. So my question is, when seating the crank pulley is there a depth it needs to be set at or does it just bottom out against the crank? I'm thinking my crank needs to be seated deeper but then again I have never pulled one.
I cannot tell you how many belts I have purchased, broken and shredded since I got the car back.
