I have bought a Balmar XT170 Amp alternator and a pulley kit incl. 2 x 44" 10-ribbed belts (Bando Europe GmbH, 440J, No. 17 243) to my Volvo Penta D2-55 A (2002) plus a new adjustment arm & belt buddy.
Balmar order number for the pulley kit is 48-VSP-D2-A
and the delivered belts is my current showstopper.
When performing a dry test I wasn´t 100% happy because the 10-ribbed belt seem to be too long.
I could not remove the old adjustment arm (in green colour) so I hold the new arm on top of the old one to get a rough feeling how it will look soon.
Asked Electromaax regarding belt length for the same pulley kit, they deliver it with a 42" long 10-ribbed belt.
Shared some images with Balmar technical support and told them my findings.
Response back was that I as customer should do the homework that I assumed Balmar would have done together with the first D2-55A customer,
fine tuning the setup and measure the optimal belt length.
After that order 2 new belts with a price around 100 Euro/belt, leadtime from USA to Europe can be several weeks.
Anyone with a completed 10-ribbed pulley installation on a D2-55A who can share the perfect belt length?
