The V-Belt

The V-Belt or so-called fan belt pulleys must be able to bind well to keep the pulley so that uniform rotation. If the fan belt will not bind with the perfect sound quite deafening when the engine life due to fan belt slippage. Here's how to work the fan belt to function properly:

A. Fan belt good working order must be maintained kekencangannya. By way of fastening position the alternator, as these devices generally can set its position.

2. Can be set to check kekencangannya after pressed with the thumb. Find the distance between the longest pulinya. Distance before and after the pressure is approximately 1 cm. If the calculated load pressure is about 10 kg (22 lbs).

3. Do not be too tight

fan belt can cause squeaks again. Even the alternator pulley bearing could be damaged because the pressure is too hard of V-Belt.

4. V-Belt that is damaged should not be discarded because it is useful if you need to replace with new. Existing code in a long time fan belt, can be used as a reference when buying a new fan belt.

For a while before you had time to set the fan belt, if it suddenly goes off in the V-Belt journey pour a little water on pulinya. By flushing, which are hard rubber can be a little soft indirect sound so much more flexible and can be lost. [erf / auto]

But let's ignore the infotainment features for a moment. If you had an opportunity to drive both cars at full throttle, which do you think you'd prefer?

I've yet to drive the Porsche, and I haven't had a chance to red-line either car. So realistically, I couldn't begin to draw a comparison between the two. In any case, the old saw about comparing apples to oranges quickly comes to mind. But for anyone who likes shoot-outs between raw American power and refined European performance, here's a new Motor Trend video that pits a Corvette Grand Sport against a 911 Carrera S. These aren't the exact same models used by QNX, but it's a great head-to-head video nonetheless:



So, tell me, are you a Corvette man (or woman)? Or are you 911 the way? And did the video change your mind any?
