Dynoed the car Saturday and on the second pull just near redline the outer rib of the belt blows. Car is bone stock with just about 1300 miles on it.
Called SVT about it after the local LM dealer told me he couldn't work on SVT's. :cuss: They said they've never heard of a belt problem like that on a car with that few miles on it and I might have a pulley out of alignment.
I pulled the shroud off it and put a framing square over the pulleys. With the square flush across the blower pulley and the tensioner pulley they seem lined up perfect but the bottom pulley is about an 1/8 of an inch behind the straight edge as it crosses all three.
Can anyone tell me if they've run across this before and how could my bottom pulley be off?
The belt is sitting in the back 7 ribs on the bottom and tensioner pulley and the front 7 ribs of the blower pulley. The front rib on the belt is gone.
