bought a 1033mm belt, and it ALMOST DIDNT FIT..
but it works fine. you just have to put it on the alternator and crank pulleys first, being that they are ribbed. then you slide it on the smooth VR pulley last, and release the tension.
now its running on the first half of the tensioners travel, rather than the last little bit of travel. hope the extra tension doesnt wear anything out prematurely.
but, besides that, NOTHING MAKES A SINGLE NOISE.
the whole setup is silent. the noises it was making were from a crappy, over-length belt..
if my tensioner bushings were going bad, they would STILL MAKE NOISE, right? because now it makes no noise ever. not cold, not hot, not wet, not dry. nothing at all. silent, like it should..
