i was installing my novi 2000 tonight, after about 3 hours of figuring out how the hell to mount the bracket that holds the s/c,(instructions need some SERIOUS atention to detail!) we are ready to put the belt on. well first of all the instructions didnt say i had to put the belt on before the brackets. big PITA there. i finally got the belt routed correctly, after taking the brackets back off, and then it is too short!!! anyone had similar problems with a mongoose kit?? BTW tapping the pan was one of the easiest parts of the install so far!

hmm thats odd that it would be to short... are you sure your getting the idler pulley pulled back all the way? I guess you would make sure of that before posting on here.. just asking because I dont know what else to say lol.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

yea it is all the way back. we tried for about 20 min to get it on. guess its time to call it a night and start fresh in the morning. i can put in a couple of hours before i go to work.

You are compressing the tensioner, right?

 

[SaleenGT2001]

unless there is something else than the normal 3/8 dirve tensioner, i have it compressed

NM i got it on. it was hung on a stud at the bottom of the engine
