installing my ur pulley set i got coolant on my new belts. They squeak like a motherf'er when i start up the g in the morning. The squeal goes until i am able to release the clutch entirely in a gear.

Any advice?

 

If the squeal persists, than you probably need to tighen up your belts slightly.

Did you replace the belts with the pulleys? New belts will stretch out a little and may need re-tightened.

 

how would one measure the correct tightness of the belts? when should i stop tightening?

 

bump anyone know?

 

I always measure with my hand. They have some skind of tool to measure it.

 

Stop tightening when it takes moderate pressure to get 1/2" movent in the belt. Like it feels tight if you lightly push on it but if you push a little harder you can get a small amount of movment. If it still makes noise put on a some belt dressing, the paste kind that looks like never seize works better than the aerosol spray kind.

 

I had the same thing after installing the supercharger I got coolant on the AC belt which was th eonly one left that hadn't been replace
well that thing sqeeled like a skinned cat, I did try tightneing it but didn't help!
I just got a new belt and replaced it and havn't had a problem since
