g60bv 0 Posted February 18, 2007 my tooth belt keeps tring to run off. i've tried to re-aline my alternator bearings. no joy. it trys to slip of the charger pulley. any ideas. its driving me made. as it eats belts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted February 18, 2007 are you using a solid tensioner ? that seems to be the problem with most toothed belt kits, and the reason i removed mine...got fed up of replacing belts every 300 miles.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Mine did exactly the same - Look at all of the pulleys and make sure they all line up properly - None of mine lined up and had to make quite a few "adjustments"!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted February 18, 2007 blue joe. what are these adjustment. - yes running soild tensioner below that a 20v tensioner pulley and under the charger a std plastic pulley. looks like i may need to space the charger out at the top. but cant be right thou.these pullies are all made on cnc machines, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted February 18, 2007 there is a thread on dubforce about spacing the pulley and tensioners etc.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted February 19, 2007 I found that i needed to space the tensioner pulley out away from charger bracket to line up with the other 1. Mike is using a merc 1 from g-werks, im in the process of getting one and giving it a try. stoney, link? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60bv 0 Posted February 19, 2007 all the tensioners line up. one is a std one and the other is a small 20v one from g-werks. either the alternator or the charger is not sitting straight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive used Bicycle stabilizer bolts for the cam belt tensioners as these have the right 10mm shaft with 8mm thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
