Had my shop put underdrives ( bought from Bill E) on crank, waterpump and Alt, and the shop showed me the main serpentine belt was so close it was almost touching itself near the water pump pully/ main ( top)tensioner...Looked about 1/8th or less to me. Bill says on his site that contrary to claims, the underdrives "do NOT require a different size belt". I guess my car doesn't agree.
Asked the shop to source a smaller belt and they said it was crazy; they were all about 8 or 9 numbers off, nothing came close enough...
I drove it home and a couple times since, all was ok, till today when I went to move it from the driveway to the garage,...something gave a bit and they are touching, and I've already shredded the belt edge off within seconds.
I've read about others mentioning this close tolerance after underdrive pullys install, but has this happened to anyone else? What did they do to solve it?
Shop said they would check into different size belts again but doesn't sound promising...
