alrighty so the v-belt broke on the girlfriends 91 n/a capri. traced that back to the alternator cause it was locking up! sweet, finally manage to install the new alternator and the new belt breaks. grrr! alrighty so i check the waterpump and the waterpump is also locking up which wuld explain the overheating issue. so we get a new waterpump installed. belts still breaking... getting old rather fast. i went through 4 belts in 3 weeks.
come to find out now after checking, rechecking and then getting a second, third then 4th opinion, the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley) is out of balance.
i cant get one of those things anywhere. ive checked all auto parts stores and then some (online). can not find one.
any ideas as to where i can get one? the car was built in march of 91, so im guessing it was a rather late production 91. another question is, when will the car stop breaking and just RUN properly?
