[QUOTE="MadRacer, post: 16255964, member: 167825"] You’re right about that! Alignment can really kill components or cause belt slippage. You should be able to look down from the top of the engine at the belt and it preferably should overlap itself, as in, the belt should be in line...versus the alternator has some belt showing more towards the radiator. When I say 1/4”-1/2” I mean deflection, up and down movement. I’ve seen some really good videos about the topic online, but basically if you can press on the belt with your finger and it moves WAY down, it’s not tight enough. This could be a tension problem, or the belt being too big is the issue. [/QUOTE]
