Belts and Pulleys and Tensioners

Saloons
1

I’m building a 4.2 from a MkX. I just discovered that my dual belt crankshaft pulley has a big chip missing. I’m assuming this is a fatal flaw, so I need to look for another one… but single or dual belt style? I assume dual crankshaft pulley, but also dual water pump pulley?

The engine came with power steering, but I’m not running power steering. I eventually plan to run aftermarket A/C and the car came with an alternator, so I’m going to update that. Do I need a tensioner? The MkX engine had one, but don’t have it.

If you need pulleys double groove, I have a set.

Mark X with no power steering. Hmm, hope you visit the gym often. I would hate to parallel park without it.

Ha! The engine is from a MkX, but it’s going into a Mk2 with manual steering. My old 1959 Chevy which was bigger and heavier than a MkX was also manual steering. No problem. :slight_smile:

Thats good to hear.

My '47 Jeep is manual and my '71 Maverick use to be. The steering box ratios between manual and power are significantly different.
