Can you see what’s wrong in this pic?
Was watching some classic 911 videos on YouTube as I’m itching for the spring and came across a guy reviewing a nice white 1986 911. Once he got to the engine bay, I facepalmed.

I don't think it's ripped/damaged looks installed sideways.

Either installed or rolled sideways for certain.

And it's even more obvious when playing the video. I can't believe they didn't notice it when they shot this video. Belt must have ripped soon after.

Well, it's only the AC. All the 3.2L 911 I know have worthless AC anyway.

What about that white AC clutch? That compressor is smoked and probably what caused the belt to turn.

Ac on any G body is easy to make fantastic. Just call Griffith's and get the Mr. Ice project. All the parts needed to make COLD air on 100+ degree days. I did that and I love it, and my wife will ride with me in hot weather.
