RSS under pulley: can I reuse the crank pulley bolt?

[chaudanova]

I have the 4" pulley, and replaced the belt with a shorter one, although I believe on your RSS pulley (which is slightly larger), that many have used the stock belt, and the belt tensioner should take care of the slack just fine.

In past I've read articles, wherein boxster and cayman owners claimed to have used the original belt. How they were able to accomplish that is beyond my understanding. When I installed my new under drive pulley, albeit BBI's product, I discovered that the oem belt was clearly too long .

Where can I get the belt and bearing? I googled the belt part number and found a site but it says its for mercury cougars...

You can get the bearings and the belts right at NAPA, trust me, I made extra round trips due to the same information, do what makes you happy or take my advise and get:

skf bearings 6203-2rsj (same for tensioner & roller, best quality available at napa) and the gates belt number I gave you. You will need a bearing punch or similar drift to drive out the old bearings.
