[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 578487, member: 20098"] Yep, old belt tensions up just fine with about 4 shims in place. The only reason I'm changing is because the belt is showing signs of cracking all over. Bottom pulley is 172mm outer diameter, and the groove doesn't look substantially deeper than a standard pulley, so I assume this isn't a power pulley. I tried fitting up the 11.3x912, but as expected I can pull the belt on and off the top pulley by hand. Are there different height alternator stands available for different fan shrouds? Or are there different diameter alternators available? My engine was built in the States, so not sure if they've got access to different branded parts over there that would affect belt size. It's got me stumped anyhow! [/QUOTE]
