My idley pulley bearing siezed, and it threw the SC belt.
The pulley has a little bit of damage from this, but nothing I couldn't clean up with a pass in the lathe. I tried to get a stock replacement pulley, but no chance of that.
Looking under the hood of my friends LS1 C5 I see almost the exact same pulley. Same diameter, same number of belt grooves. I bought one at the local parts place for $18. The new pulley is glass filled nylon, and at least a pound lighter. The bearing also has a slightly bigger hole, and a bit more backspace.
I made up a new reducer bushing with more backspace to compensate.
I still need to make up a new front retainer/dust shield. More pictures in the next few days.
