Tom. 70 #1 Posted August 1, 2013 I got my NOS engine mounted on my suburban today however I am having trouble with the drive belt. I am struggling to get the drive belt to not engage the drive pulley while the clutch is out so I then adjust it but then it's too loose and the idler pulley won't reach it to engage it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong???? I don't have the belt guard for it if that makes a difference?? If anyones got any advice or tips I'd appreciate it!

CasualObserver 3,411 #2 Posted August 1, 2013 You need the little wire keeper fingers bolted to the engine. They take up the slack and disengage the belt when you depress the clutch. I'll see if I can find a post on them.... there's been some with pictures in the past. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
