T-belts don't stretch, they break. This is why adjusting the tension is =
so important, 90=B0 twist with a cold engine allows for proper tension =
when the engine metal expands due to operating temperature shifts.=20
Get a new belt, like 10 bucks for an 8v... the tow truck will cost you =
way more....
