L36 has 3 less than the L67 FWIW.

 

[Spicy McHaggiz]

Needs more idlers and tensioners

At least you can take the belts off by yourself with normal hand tools....unlike my LS4 in the GXP.

4 Less....

2 Idlers
1 Tensioner
1 Supercharger.....

Does the other half the Harmonic Balancer count as .5?

So there'd be 4.5 more



It is so easy on in the car though, It looks more complicated than it is...... I just wish the damn power steering pump were in a better spot..... It was almost the first time I had seen it when I had the Heads off..... damn fucker is so hidden

fwiw, with two people, it only takes a few mins.....

take the front right tire off, locate th tensioner spring, use a prybar on the top of it, and with every pulley correct, have your assistant slide the belt over the PS pulley. really should only take 5-10 mins..

but the LS4 takes two people to do a simple task that would normally be a 30 second job on a 3800 with one person. No thanks
