The Jesel or C.V. products belt drives will run for several thousand race miles without a belt change and are the best choice if the budget allows. Bill
I bought my Jesel belt drive new in 2001 for my 539 BBC and only have about 200 runs on it. (Due to career change have not drag raced very much in the last several years) That is not very miles, but it is 6 years old. How long does the belt last?
A CompCams rep told a friend that he should replace his belt every year, but that seems a bit excessive. His belt had broken on his SBC 429 after about 3 years and the spider gear was well worn, so he is now wanting to change every year.
Thanks for your inputs,
