RE: whipple problems
do you know the belt size. that would be helpful. get that please. do you have the belts or did you get a good look at them. were they shiny looking or did they have a grove showing any signs of ripping or did they just break

RE: whipple problems
the numbers on the belt were 1247KG 20-9770 they both were the same belt made by DAYCO no i dont have either of the belts they were sent to whipple the first belt was shiny and was very sticky after a hard drive which i knew was bad, but the second belt was not shiny and didnt show any signs of wear up to the point it snapped

RE: whipple problems
Loosen up the bolts that hold the blower/intake down and move it forward as much as possible. That'll cure the alignment issue. The other thing to do is change one of the idlers to a different size so you can run a 123.4" belt that is available from most auto parts stores. that will make the cost of belts cheaper, and also call whipple, sounds like you need a spacer

RE: whipple problems
Because of the noise you reported, I am more inclined to think you have a problem with the tensioner which ismaking the belt slip, and in consequence accelearating belt wear leading to failure.I assume all of the pulleys move freely and have no dents.
Missalignmnet can cause beltshredding but the noise it makes isdifferent to the one caused byslippage.
