before the show n shine while I was cleaning up my engine, I pushed on the alternator belt and I thought it felt kind of brittle. So I finally got around to changing out the belt, just in case it goes on my on my way to Fiero Fest next month.
So if you haven't changed or checked your belt in more than 4 or 5 years, perhaps it's time to at least check it. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

Dont over tighten it - it'll kill your WP & Alt bearings. And remember to retighten it after 500 & 1000 miles. They stretch. |
