I am in the process of finishing off the build of my new Autolinea engine. The set up has an alternator. The fan belt is loose (no shims), it has about an inch of play.
Belt is currently a FB 11.3 x 912La. It was fitted to my previous engine but that still had a little more play than the recommended 1/2 inch without shims.
I can find other belts as recommended by various web threads, such as 10 x 900 but they all are toothed belts. Question is, with todays technology and manufacturing standards does it really matter if I use a toothed belt?
Thanks.
