It will easily adjust to the correct tension and probably not require re-adjustment for some time, Hopefully until you get home from a long trip.
The same issue with a 1/3 twisted belt.

I’ll add:
* Piston ring compressor. In a pinch, a worm-type hose clamp will work.

The great part is he and many others are ‘on call’ here on Pelican.
All you have to do is have internet access when in distress.
Another I’ll add:
I always carry my ½” drive torque wrench for lug nuts.
It also serves as ½’ ratchet for all other purposes.
It fits to turn the engine by the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Some in the list are to protect me from a personal lapse:
“
Gas cap, oil tank cap, dipstick, valve stem caps and five lug nuts.
Set of keys, extra wire pull for trunk, engine lid and gas fill latches – all under the fenders. If you have locking lug nuts, make sure the key works.”
We sold many caps and dipsticks over the years. I suspect they didn’t wear out.
I’ll post a revised version of the above list with all the suggestions.
More suggestions welcome.
Best,
Grady
