Hello All,
I have developed a belt comming off the water pulley problem all of a sudden?
The belt comes off the water pump pulley towards the powersteering belt.
I did have obx water pulley but I have replaced that with the OEM pulley but I still got the problem, I don't know what it is?
Is it possible that I have overtightened the pulley and maybe bent the water pump shaft or alternator shaft?
I am supercharged too, but I did not have this problem until last week when I tried to reduce belt slip by tightening the belt some more?
Does anyone know how tight a belt should be?

DO NOT overtighten belt you will eventurally kill the water pump bearing/alt bearings</div>
What pressure is that at?
