Idler Pulley Failure

[Steve Tinker]

When I installed my underdrive pulley (bought from Flat6), it came with Gates belt Micro-V AT #K060806. A bit of a tight fit if I remember correctly, but runs OK.

By the way, WD40 is not good for a belt - better to use a proper belt dressing lubricant which lasts much longer.

I never use belt dressing, in my experience it just collects dirt, and makes the belt run loud.

That's why I was thinking new belt or different brand. Napa is close to my shop and had the black belt dressing but it's like tar and sticky and actually made the belt more audible.
