belt locked up after sprayed
I wased my 1999 engine, after wards i cut it off , let it (finish)drying, and the next day it started right up, BUT the thing wss squeeking or chirping a little , so spray silicone lubricant on the belt (which I had done another time something was squeeking and it stopped it)
this time, a pulley on the passenger side of the motor flopped over and it seized the belt

sorry, i was in a hurry (her eee) (ha ha ha)
My local mechanic came by and saw that the silicone spray had made the belt fall off, and that was why the tensioner pulley snapped out and banged. put the belt back on, and all is well. thanks for helping

thans (thanks) (ha ha ha)
smart a**, i thought i could get help here not an old sr. jerk that ridicules.
did you not see that I was in a hurry and made some mistakes, have you never done that?and the lube was for the noisy pully, which did help last time until I washed it again. I was seeking advise not an english class .
go drive your car!
or can you do that up on that rack?

spelling has nothing to do with helping, I am not claiming to be a (fake) mechanic like most. I'd rather just pay.
but either way i'd wax you. and mines fully able and FULLY stock... I am just the best driver.
But being a senior citizen, you know that you arent able to keep it up any longer.
have fun with your car sittin' there.

Hmmm....perhaps you don't understand, that a rubber belt requires friction with the pulleys, and is under tension.....so spraying a lubricant on the belt completely defeats the purpose.
