so, my supercharger belt has flattened the grooves off the pulley side (from slipping i assume)...my supercharger spins free, no bearing wobble, maybe 5 degrees back and forth play (but i assume that is correct). so assumption on assumptions here i believe the belt from VAP was one of the slightly longer belts and has been slipping for the last few weeks causing this. my issue is i am trying to leave for Maine tomorrow morning and i need a belt locally, i know Gates part numbers have been thrown around but i believe most of those threads are about the 6cyl, so my question is and i would assume yes, it is the same belt? i am good with even finding the single sided belt and sourcing a flat idler pulley locally. This trip has been planned for weeks and i am tryin hard to still make it. thanks!!!

 

 

yes, it was the batch that is possibly a few mm too long, causing slippage. Spoke with Stuart he is sending me a new belt but i won't have it for 9 am tomorrow departure.

 

ok, same part number stock, so i can assume same belt length with the pulley. K080575HD or 1475mm. sourced locally!

Now, someone who has experience a snout bearing failure or coupler failure what did the pulley feel like or sound like when you spin it by hand? mine feels smooth and easy to turn?
