Re: Timing cover AND other questions. 1952 Gas Major
I had the alternator removed already. With the 44" belt there was no way I could get the bolt holes to line up. I'll give it another attempt today I was just worried about the belt being so tight.

It must only move a maximum of 1/2" between the water pump and dynamo, and not just deflect.
It is tight, and quite hard work to hold while tightening bolts, and that's with the narrow belt. less than that will cause the water pump to slip (especially with four blade fans, and even more the bigger they are).
