<VV> Belt Life

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Bill,
 
I have a loose belt (on my car at least) and have had the same belt on the  
car for at least 5 years. I autocross and have run time trials with the 
car. I  also have two CHT gauges that have never been over 300 degrees, the  
thermocouples are on the bottom of the heads.

I am not yet  convinced that you loose belt people are keeping your 
engines as well  cooled as they could be, thus loosing in engine life 
what you are gaining  in belt life.  Let's see, $10 belt vs. $Thousands 
engine job  ...

Oh, I forget, nobody (very darn few at least) *drives* their cars  
anymore -- they just show and race them, or worse, just park them  --

hmmm,

Bill  Strickland
