I'm just curious, have any of you guys tried shimming up the motor mounts
until the belt will fit through the gap?
The shims were used by the factory "as required" to line the crank up with
the hole in the radiator, but I don't see any reason they couldn't both be
shimmed by 1/4" or so to get clearance for a belt. New motor mounts would
likely help too, as mine seem to sag over time.
And of course the cogged Gates belt ($12 @ RockAuto) will go on a bit easier
than the solid 'original' belts.
