duratec belt arrangement
Nitrogeno25 - 23/1/12 at 08:43 PM

As my car is LHD I plan to use this belt arrangement with the Duratec (sorry for the quality!!)

Red arrow for belt route round the water pump and blue circle for the alternator pulley.




I fitted 2 idler pulleys, one with the stock spacer and the other with a new larger spacer to align the idler pulley using the holes in the cam chain cover:




Do you think it will work, or should I change the larger spacer and use anything different?

Many thanks!!

Water pump runs the other way off the smooth side of the 6pk belt.

Perhaps I should read things better

Yes it's same way as yours. Alternator is mounted to the other side (LHD car).

Thanks!

Exactly the same! It seems I fitted smaller pulleys. I'm a little concerned about the large spacer behind the lower small pulley though.

Many thanks!

That's how mine run also.
