Does anyone know if the stock belt has enough slack, or tensioner pulley can be loosened to accommodate this 10mm larger diameter? Or do I really need to get a 10mm longer belt if I wanted to do that?
I have a similar size alternator pulley. There was a new belt in the kit, but when I compared it with the oem belt I couldn't see any difference.
