is it safe to drive in the rain without one?

 

what would be so bad about the rain? some people are skiddish about them but ive ran without them and have had buddies do it without problems

 

well i guess im just nervous that it will slip off and seize the motor or something lol

 

im my OP i think driving w/o it is not a good idea . . . .

 

i would be more nervous about a rock getting in there, not the rain

 

Why would you risk your motor without a t-belt cover? Do you know the damage a rock could do? There is all kinds of **** on the street. Wow.

why not?

 

I've done it, but you do take a risk

Mine snapped recently (only 15k on belt). I think because it was covered in oil or a rock got in there

Yeah, I agree...

 

f2b setup with pulley moved 1/2" in

 

if you can put a cover on there. then do it. unless the car need timing adjustments constantly then i say leave it off. never heard any horror stories
