I would recommend that for your own piece of mind that you go to the Gates website and use their online belt calculator. You can input your variables and it will show you acceptable belt loading, shaft radial loads, and minimum pulley diameters. The other thing that is critical are mounts that are rigid enough to withstand the pulsing of that 4 cylinder. > > John Crowley > _______________________________________________ > Passagemaking-Under-Power Mailing List All good points, but there are supply problems in just picking the ideal belt and actually acquiring it here in Zhuhai. As it stands I have had very little to do with the selection of pulley, belt and mount. But you make your point and if I have the chance, I will pass it along to Bill Kimley. Some of the issues you raise may have slipped below the radar and deserve a fresh look. Mike Capt. Mike Maurice Tualatin(Portland), Oregon.
