Hi , and Happy Thanksgiving to you Marty Chin and all . I did enjoy
the Hell exam question answer, a good chuckle, that !
Yes, my fuel line banjo fittings (3GM30F) loosen up regularily
too, any solutions, would Lock Tite help ? Not experienced the
leaky timing cover yet at 2000 hrs.
I added the 105 Amp Balmar alternator, and use the Gates Gold Label
cogged belt, but still have a lot of black belt wear powder around
the front of the engine, after long hours of motoring here in Asia.
Would a belt dressing help , I have checked the pulley alignment
throughly, already, ?
Doug,
I’m not Marty, don’t even play him on TV. I do have a 105amp alternator
on my 3GM30f though and fixed my belt wear problem by adding an
additional locking support leg for the alternator. It keeps the case
from moving and hence changing tension. I had the additional leg
fabricated for me by Summerfield Boat Yard in Florida.
I have not had any dust since. I also use an uprated belt.

My boat sat for a year in Houston. Afterwards, black powder was shed
from the belt when under power. In Marathon FL, the mechanic sold me
these small sandpaper wrappers that wrap around the belt. Sure
enough, powder gone! Seems there were spots of rust on the pully
and the abrasion was just enough to cause the black powder.
