[QUOTE="About2bite, post: 6439389, member: 49703"] It's really a pretty basic idea. The smaller the belt you put on the car, the tighter the belt is going to be. According to me and you since you agreed with me earlier as to the tension being more if the tensioner is pulled back further by the belt. So the issue is that if the belt is too small and the tensioner is putting more tension on the belt than necessary it could cause damage to the bearings, keep in mind most people notch the tensioner which allows more force on the belt from the tensioner which is where people run into these issues with bearings going etc. Just because your tensioner was still in its range of motion doesn't mean there is not more force being put on the belt than necessary, not to sound like a hypocrite I have a very tight belt on mine too and notched the tensioner as well to get it on there. I am more worried about my tensioner going out more so than anything. Josh [/QUOTE]
