Drive Belt: Description and Operation

Engine Drive Belts

Drive belts and pulleys transfer power from the engine crank- shaft to various accessories. See Fig. 13. Depending on model and model year, engine driven accessories are driven by V- belts, poly-ribbed (serpentine) belts, or a combination of the two. For example, early 4-cylinder engines, use two V-belts and one poly-ribbed belt.
