When I modded my wet clutch I forgot to use loctite on the lightly torqued tiny bolts that hold the housing on the engine. Eventually every one of those tiny bolts loosened up (one backed all the way out) and that started an oil leak that went right onto the sheaves and then drive belt.
I got the whole thing apart, and plan on adding a shim to the setup while I'm at it.
My question is there anything that can clean a drive belt properly and save it after it's had oil on it, or do I need a new belt?
I'm considering the Gates Carbon belt if I have to change it.
Opinions?
Is brake clean ok for the sheaves themselves...I would have thought so, but I have heard something negative about it. Not sure if it's BS or not.
