That's what I figured (actually, I tried to convince myself of that
because I'd already gotten the belt on an tensioned). But, checking into
it, it seems there are a lot of alternative that may, or may not, be
better than original. What to do (I don't like the OEM-type belts; I
suspect there's a reason autos went to thinner belts over the years).

One thing is for sure, the cogged belt "don't <i>look</i>

<div> I finally got around to fixing
my loose water pump pulley and
installing a new fan belt. I ordered
a 'cogged' belt from Moss--part#
021-966--thinking it might work
better than the original slab of
rubber. I noticed before installing
that it was narrower than the
original type that I'd had, which
had rotted, but it looked like it
would work. Once I started
tensioning it however, it was clear
it <i>might </i>work, but sat too
low in the pulleys, and was
essentially riding on the bottom of
the pulley grooves instead of on the
sides (and the angle of the sides of
the belt was incorrect). Anyone else
tried one of these?<br>
