Just installed the kit. Main-WP-Alt

Shipped with the wrong set of belts.



FYI IMHO.

The WP was designed wrong. The bevel was done with a conservative angle not considering the oem coolant hose and clamp for clearance.

The clamp right now sits at the bottom point of contact between the hose and clamp......only half of the clamp is providing pressure ...this concerns me....this gives me a clearance of paper thickness..no exaggeration...



Contemplating on returning them..anyone have any solutions...cable ties ?



Ordered the samco coolant hoses....if i recall correctly, they are thicker than the oem hoses....which i know will definitely NOT work with this pulley kit...

a combination of slight twisting of the hose and readjustment of the clamp provided for a hairline gap...it wasnt enough to make me feel at ease so i filed a portion of the clamp to create a little more security...

thanks for all the replies....

The RB pulley is nice because it has alot of marks, including one for TDC.
