Default Re: My Vr4 Broke V Belt : (

Yes i've seen that happen several times before when i worked for Mitsubishi- and NOT only on the 3000GT. The accessory belt can get caught behind the harmonic dampener and work it's way into the timing cover where it gets in between the crank gear and Tbelt causing it to skip time. I hope this isn't your case- but losing a outer drivebelt won't prevent the engine from running (unless it's an alternator belt and the battery died).
