My EK with my k20a2 w/ Power Steering (Jackson Racing pulley) & A/C was operating fine up until a few days ago. I went to start it up the other day & I heard a wobbling sound. I popped the hood to find out that the belt was not up there correctly. Now I go to put the belt back on & now its not fitting right. There is a lot of play with the belt almost as if something has changed

Can someone help me out with this? My belt is a 6 rib Dayco belt & it doesn't look like it has any signs of stretching or breaking.

1 - How long is your belt
2 - Does your tensioner appear to be operating correctly.

1) How long is my belt?............67.5 inch belt (Dayco practically new)

2) Does my tensioner appear to be operating correctly?..........How do I check for that?

On the tensioner there is an arrow, it should line up within an area of the tensioner. If its out of that region then your tensioner is maxed out and your not getting the correct tension and your belt is too long.

Problem resolved!

The tensioner is fine. The belt is actually a tad bit too long & it was hitting the hood & leaving black residue everywhere, so I bought a smaller belt and the problem is fixed. So anyone with a k20a2 & Power steering w/ Jackson Racing SC pulley & Air conditioning who needs the proper belt size it's Dayco belt #5060670.
