That's how close it will be. I think the next shorter belt is almost 6" shorter and will not work. Mine looks like it has about 1/8" gap and hasn't been a problem in more than 15 years.OK guys i just installed my under drive pullies and the tensioner is almost touching with the water pump does any one have the part # for smaller belt or what should i do?? thanks i tried the search but didn't find it
Maybe your old belt is stretched a bit. I would think shimming the A/C with washers would help, but I'd try a new belt first.well i did run the engine now they are rubbing ..... should i put some washers on the a/c ???
Hmm, is the 893 the stock length?The serpentine belt comes in 3 different sizes, a 900, 897, and 893(mm). I'm running the 893 size belt with the sc idler pulley instead of the regular size idler pulley. It is slightly smaller in diameter and allows a bigger gap especially with the 893 belt. I bought the 893 belt at NAPA.
