Hey guys,

I just experienced a belt rupture with my Vortech. Well not exactly a rupture in a way that I get a belt with an end and a beginning, but more like a rupture in a way that it has been "cut" into two pieces along the circumfence (if you know what I mean). So to say I now have two belts...

This happend just 5000km after the V-2 has been installed with the 3.125" pulley.
I am wondering if the extra heat by the shared oil with the engine caused a belt failure or of maybe one of my pulleys was not perfectly aligned. Nevertheless I will get the 2.87 pulley installed this wednesday and I already have a Gates HD belt ready for installation.

Do you guys know any alternative for the gates belts? I am looking for a reinforced or extra strong one in particular which is compatible with the 2.87" pulley!
