Belt Tightness?

[grindog]

Hi All,

I have had my car for around 2 meetings and have noticed that the drivetrain is not freeing up much yet. The motor is seriously hot (12 double, Kit spur, 18 pinion). There seems a lot of drag on the drive. How tight can you get away with running your belts? Mine are kit at the moment but i am thinking of backing them up a little.

Thanks, john
