You can turn the crank pulley with the belt on? You mean water pump pulley? This reminds me of the the NMRA factory stock rules... I think they mention that the belt must be tight enough to turn all the accesories and not be 'excessively' loose.

Thats the thing I still can't figure out about those da calculators. I guess all cars don't react the same to changes in weather.<P>st-Your correct I meant the water pump pulley.
