[QUOTE="Sportin' Wood, post: 15739359, member: 164350"] Hey Joe, The movement on the idler pulleys if minimal is just bearing free rock due to clearances in the bearing cage, no big deal and normal. How much load did you set on the belt tensioner. I believe the Whipple instructions say to use 80% tension which is way too much for the Gates rpm belts. Look around the site there is a write up by Fishpick about this. I also snapped my belt at the track with the original setting 80% and cast tensioner. Received the billet one with new standoffs for the mount plate (with a slightly different heights) and set the tension about 40% on the new belt. It's close to the tensioner body but does not touch and has been flawless. I'd look at your tension setup again, hard to tell in the pics but looks like it may be set too tight. This will lead the idler bearings too much. Hope this makes sense Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
