Just had my first belt failure. The gates micro V that comes with the Whipple. I did notice after a quick burn out I heard some belt slippage when RPM was coming down. Checked tension immediately after, was a tad loose but figured it was because the car had just been running for a hour and stretched because of heat. Once belt cooled it was stiff again.
Should I be looking into other options? Belt had only 4k miles if that. Tension was good, checked a couple days ago. Not a clean cut either, looks like it was ripped in half with thread showing. All pulleys look to be fine and free spinning.
Thanks in advance.:cheers:
