Belt disaster overted.

My belt area has had a really bad history this year.


After my last oil seal redo the car was acting a little different....

You may have remembered my posts on 'dead spots' and 'rpm problems under load' ....so I finally get around to pulling the dist. cap and belt covers......

Holy *****!








Notice how the balance belt is completely in pieces and frayed like rope at the bottom.

Notice how the drive belt has been erroded away to less than a cm. of width.

Notice how there is belt "fuzz" all over the cam gear.

I have to get in there and see what failed in order to assess the damage. I think my rear belt box bolt on the drivers side backed out....could be wrong though.......



If that belt snapped I would have really lost it!
