Belt touching Cam Cover

[GasManLS7]

Anyone had this issue with lower cambelt cover interfering with the aux belt?

Everything is bolted up tight but with a belt on it rubs with on the cam cover. Pulleys are pms ones and I only have crank pulley, water pump and wosp alternator. Just wondering before I take a dremel too an undamaged lower cam cover.

The belt will only rub the cover if it's routed incorrectly -can't see the video for some reason- the belt needs to go underneath the water pump pulley

I'm not sure how it could under the water pump pulley and over the crank as the only other pulley I have is the the alternator which is mounted as per the Cup. This is how mine is set up (not my pic though):

Have you got the pulleys mounted on the right way around. I put one of mine on back to front when I first set it up, it's easy to do.

This is how they should look:

Use a 4pk belt

If you're running no PAS or AC you don't need a 6pk belt. I run a 4pk on mine

Do you run 4pk belt on 6pk pulleys?

The top part of the belt (on a standard 172 cup setup at least) goes underneath the water pump pulley otherwise it rubs the cover.

On that setup I think it's a 4pk belt that you need to stop it rubbing

Daihatsu Cuore 4pk belt it is!
