anyone have this problem?
It all started when I replaced my gas tank.. before that I never had a problem. Now I have thrown the belt 3 times in 3 days.... I did advance my timing a little bit. Could I be revving too fast? this is not a stock motor... I just don't know if there are shims or other things to look at. Fan is tight and balanced.. I guess I could back off the timing, but what fun would that be... |

reply would not take...
I threw the old belt and the new belt twice. I thought that I did not have it tight enough...but not the second and 3rd. time. The alternator seems ok, spins ok and smooth. I run it up to 6500 rpm. i did this before I advanced the timing with no problems very frequently. Now with the advanced timing, I am thinking that it spins up more quickly. thus the problem. I am guessing but at 6500 engine rpm, the alternator must be spinning at close to 12000 rpm...anyone? anyone? |
