I need some quick help here guys.
I'm finally assembling my motor and dropping it in. However, I don't know where the last three belts go!!!
I have the alternator, power steering, and A/C belt. These are the sizes:
4PK 790
4PK 920
4PK 870
If I put one on...the other two don't fit. It's so frustrating.
Which ones go where?
EDIT: I know I could just try all the combinations, but with my limited tool set and the cramped space, it takes almost 20-30 minutes to get at the belts alone!

Thank you so much!
But right now as I have it, the 790 is on the alternator. But for some reason I can't stretch either of the others onto the "tensioner" for the AC/waterpump.
Am I missing something here? The tensioner thing is all the way slacked and down and the belt still won't fit onto it. It's too tight.

The waterpump is run by the timing belt. Are you sure you have the A/C idler pulley adjuster bolt loosened all the way?

Alright....yeah you were right. One of the tensioners wasn't down all the way.
After a few frustrating hours, I got them all in! Thanks dude.
18psi is so close now!!!

No offense
but why are you running 18psi if you are having trouble with belts???
Sounds like trouble to me.

But these belts are like so close, anyone can switch em around without noticing.
