Would be a pleasure to pop over lol , work however says that ain't gonna happen at the mo, have been to Florida most Augusts for the last 20 years. Staying home this year though
That said , whatever problems you encounter just post it up or pm me I'll do my best to help ya
Hi this may be of interest if you didn't know about it , might not need the info but you might want to tinker at some point
When you do get around to changing the pulley just be aware the pulley bolt is a bit unique , think it had a hole drilled into it from the head right down and out the bottom to act as a breather.
This is very cool to see. I hadn't seen this diagram before. Out of curiosity, what is the benefit of eliminating the idler and going with the shorter belt? There isn't a belt wrap on the SC pulley improvement, but maybe its reducing stress on the belt by eliminating 3 sharp turns?
Also, do you happen to know what that bracket is on the bottom right side of the diagram? I can't make out the text in the scan.
You can also call Kenne Bell and they will ship you a tube if you prefer that path. I bought one from them along with the square gasket between the LIM and boost bypass valve tube. If memory serves it was pretty inexpensive...more expensive than a generic tube of black RTV, but not bad.
I don't have the crescent aligning tool for the idler bracket, how bad is it that I just held it flush and tightened it on? I have access to a laser alignment tool.
Been a while, think it's to get the idlers belt contact surfaces parallel with pulleys, so belt doesn't ride off idlers like if there cocked.
See if the instructions tell you to tighten up that top snout bolt first then the lower ones, can't quite remember , would like to think there are some marks on the snout , that would be useful .
Also the idlers should have the belt contact patch , so maybe give it your best shot now and then see where the belt sits on the idler when running .

I'll look for marks which will hopefully get me close, obviously it's on a different car so tolerances will be a bit off.
Yes you do tighten the top snout bolt first. Hard to believe KB wouldn't have a tool laying around, I guess I could call but I know the answer I will get.
