So now both belts are ruined? Wth?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 11:34 am

The power steering belt was nowhere to be found... GONE. The other belt started tearing the side of it off, then on the crank pulley, it flipped itself upside down. Idk how it got me home, but the belt is still on there like that, and isn't squealing or anything lol.
Got two new belts this morning. Out to check the crank pulley and see what's up with it. Plus i'll probably put my old pulley on the pt alternator since the pt one is bigger. If I can get to it.

Pictures and updates after I'm done.

Hope you get it squared away.

Well pretty sure by the time i get done changing these belts a hundred times I'll be a pro. I ran the crank pulley in with the impact some. I'm afraid to strip it so I didn't go very far. Put the belts on and drove it around some. As far as I can tell eyeing it up it looks straight. Only time will tell. Also got a little present today. Pics on the way.

I was gonna say, hammer down with an impact gun. I ran the one on my 98 down with a harbor freight electric and it didn't go all the way in the first two times I tried.

BE A MAN! DELETE THE PS!!

Put 30 miles on it tonight. So far so good. Idk if I like how the pods are though. It covers up the check engine light...

Anyone use Phantom II Autometer gauges? I like them because at night they'll match my gauge cluster because I'm gonna do white lighting for it.

I'm thinking maybe cheap Nitrous oil pressure for now = 20. Nitrous don't make a volt gauge, so a Phantom II will be like 50.

I would get the Phantom II oil one too, but it's like 75$

I love the pod. Love it.

i dont like how the pod covers the redline , good luck with the alternator, i have terrible luck with alternator belts

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 10:29 pm

its good that you got it running.

that pod.. man i wish they had one like that for a 2gn. id totally rock it.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 11:04 pm

Redline don't bother me. If i get that close to the redline it's going off the revlimiter. I hardly look at it any how, all by ear. Check engine part is what I don't like.

I had a belt eating problem.. I used an air impact gun to get the crank pulley bolt in..

But then i noticed that if i got a 2x4 and a hammer.. i was able to move the pulley in even more.. surprised the shit out of me but yeah..

Maybe see if you can get the crank pulley in more, that would be my suggestion.

They say thats a big no no. Can fuck the crank bearings up. If it eats it again I'm buying the special installation tool. When I hit it with the impact today it moved it in some. Really you're not supposed to put it on with the bolt either. Supposed to have that special installer.

Haganracing · Post by **Haganracing** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 12:56 am

Well the no-no fixed my problem

Good luck

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 11:00 am

That belt seems like a serious PIA

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 11:10 am

Yea, good thing it's not TOO bad to change. The only pain in the ass yesterday was all the water dripping in my eyes and ears and shit.
