Can I.......

I was wondering if i could run my engine without the serpintine belt on. Strange noise coming from under the hood that I am trying to track down.

TY

Im pretty sure you can briefly. Some people do it for track runs.

I was gonna say, yes, but don't drive with it off. But if people use take it off for track runs....

Can I.......

NO!!!! AND DON'T ASK ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!! :mad:

















;) :D

of course you can, BUT..

u wont have an alternator, power steering, a water pump, etc...

so, ur car will die of lack of power, wont turn easily and will overheat if left running for 5 mins...

so, yes, do it for 1 minute or so, to diagnose, but not any further...

this is how eric (mustangeater) got such low 1/4 mile times with $0 of mods, as it lowers rotating mass on the engine, thus frees up HP

yep you can...

also put me from a 14.7(best of a 14.6) to a 14.4 :)

but like said it will overeat.

you have a noisey pulley? Me too I had a horrid ticking under the hood, I pulled the belt it stopped, so I sprayed the back off all the pulleys with a litthe white lithium grease, and stopped ever since.
