jonlafon1 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Blowing belts usually changes offset. If you’re not on point on that stub shaft and alignment, you better buy lots of belts. Bang. Bang. Especially running big tunes with enlarged intercooler, big pump, headers. Guessing Tomcat knows this already. It’s not flashing news. Old news actually. Amazing how far off the “book “ was on the 17’s. For offset numbers. back to the year o ft the helix !! 2024 cats Edited February 14 by jonlafon1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommcat Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 1 hour ago, krom said: you bother to do anything on the ones that have had the bearing/stub shaft walk into the engine throwing the offset out of whack? Depends how bad. Most of them just need the secondary adjusted a bit to correct offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my 17 Cat 998, it would blow at 2k miles like clockwork with OEM belts (I felt this was totally acceptable given the power level). Started using Ultimax with even better success, even with a tune. I gotta say, overall that sled is easily the most powerful yet most reliable sled I've ever owned. It just works. Granted, I have done some PM items like different top gear, brass shift fork pads, etc. Edited February 14 by Premium 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
