Default Good and Bad

Rwillia4 Good things first , they look cool, sound like a blower running, no slipping of any things hooked to crank for rotation.
bad things, hard on bearings, hard on the motor because of the no slip issue. Chewwing of the teeth off the belt under hard decelleration of the motor. hard on water pump bearings. You motor like a little slipage for the drive belts. Timing belt are a whole different thing. If clog belts where that great, every car would be running them instead of V belts or surp belts. Need to have the correct tension on them when the motor is hot and have them a little tighter when the motor is cold. If you strip teeth in the belt you may loose all acc, like alt, water pump, p/s pump when this happens. If a unit siezes, belts cost alot more than surp belts or V belts. You also need the pulleys to spin very true. JMO Rick L.
