Pulley Failure - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Locobob · 05-26-2019

Well I pulled the belt off and the pulley seems to spin freely by hand... although that doesn't mean it doesn't perform differently under load. The belt doesn't look terrible, its a little chewed up in a couple of spots. I need to check my notes for the belt size, I have the underdrive pulley set from SRP. I have Gates and Dayco pulleys available locally. I believe Gates is supposed to be the gold standard but with all the outsourcing going on who knows anymore. I did rebuild the tensioner a few years ago because it was chattering badly, I haven't seen any sign of it bouncing around since so I'm guessing that part of the assembly is okay.
