Also you check the Sheaves (pulleys) with a sheave gauge tool like the Gates 7401-0014, SAE gauges. Finding a set is the problem as few are ever ordered, Techs are just too lazy to use them.

Opinionated- yes. Negative and derogatory towards a public school system (US I'm assuming)..... but not racist.
If we're going to be accurate and specific in our discussions about parts, specifications, belt size etc then we also should be accurate with our use of words describing other things.
This racism, or racist term is often used as too broad of a stroke and often quite an accurately.
Another thing that we seem to continually run into and this forum is the fact that things are different in Australia than in the US.
I will default back to some of my previous statements or maybe they were questions -- what percentage of the members of this group or at least the ones who have actively posted in the past 2 years are from the US?
What percentage are from Australia?
The burden of explanation or whatever you want to call it is always going to be on you if there is something different that you have experienced or you want to explain something that is simply different in australia, or anyone else's area, that in the majority of the way most others in this forum experience it.
It might not be right for everyone to assume and it might be annoying to have to continually point it out but that's just the well it is.
Going back to that example, I will have to say that I have no idea about the public versus private school system in a place in the world let's say like Europe or more specifically just England.
I could make some guesses and assumption but I don't know how the two compare.
I do know that in the US it is common knowledge that the vast majority of the public school systems have a lot of issues and are not up to par and typically lag quite behind private schools.
This certainly is not to say that they are not private schools that suck also.
I we'll also assume that the trend of private schools being superior or considered superior to public school systems occurs in more places than just the US.
If someone is somewhere that this is not the case or it is actually reversed, or even equal let's say, then the logical burden is on them to point this out.
They should not be offended by the factual statements made about other areas or other entire countries.
No reason to have any chips on anyone's shoulders due to things that are absolutely true or even stereotypes that also contain a lot of truth.
I'm glad these things get pointed out though as the differences because this is why I like open discussions and letting conversations go where they want because - people learn things!
Most of us live in one country or even one place for most or all of our lives and we tend to have a very narrow focus or even realization of anything about the rest of the world.
It's easy and a logical trap to fall into thinking it's about the same everywhere so it's good when we had discussions and can let people know of how certain things are different and sometimes completely different than what they think is normal everywhere.
No reason for people to take it offensively or get upset about how other say things.
For instance, in the US, we have been poking fun at rednecks for a long time.
It's usually more of a southern state thing or sometimes just more rural area and people just all the time.
Very few take it offensively and some (often those who certainly fit some of the stereotypes) really embrace it.

And yes I did go to a public school, by choice I did get a scholarship to a very wealthy elite Anglican high school .
Their alumni has a large number of leaders of industry many of which were all convicted of pedophilia , in closed courts of course because nice rich business leaders do not do those sort of things although 42 of 48 were convicted .So then the school had a new honour board made removing those names .
And as mentioned I had to coach my entire tutorial group who were all rich snobs, till they needed help to pass enough exams to remain in university. All of them could rattle off answers to any matriculation question, but not a single one could think and one even got his father to attempt to have the engineering drawing changed from 3rd angle to first angle because he could understand the concept of planar projection. So all he had learned was rich people can bribe their way to get whatever they want . And I might add that this kid drove a Jaguar that daddy bought him as a graduation present and some how managed to get on campus parking some thing that most staff could not get .
The longest serving Prime Minister John Howard in this country went the Birrong Boys High, a government school .
The second longest serving Prime Minister & also best PM we have ever had, Bob Hawke also went to a state school, then to a state university where he won a Rhodes scholarship
Yes and we are happy to jibe each other but some inferences are plain wicked .
Public schools have to take every student in their footprint thus they do get a high proportion of students with learning difficulties but if any of them leave without a proper education then that is a fault of the system not the students
And of all of the people I have worked with over the years Americans by and large have been the worst educated , including university graduates , which of course is a problem of the US system of school governance
How many people on this list can understand a simple DC mower wiring diagram ?
Star must go crazy trying to get people to understand simple wiring that should be taught to 12 year olds .

I will stand admonished, I should have said elitist although elitism & racism often go hand in handI we'll also assume that the trend of private schools being superior or considered superior to public school systems occurs in more places than just the US.

I can fully believe that the dumbest people you've worked with have been Americans because our education system has been lacking and falling behind for decades upon decades and most all of that has been public schools.
That is precisely why he joked about it because we do it all the time.
In fact, we make fun of ourselves, our actual own individual cells, other americans, different types of Americans which we may or may not even like, ALL THE TIME!
We actually don't even like each other.
The only thing that ever gets us motivated and working together is being piss#d off!
We will walk backwards uphill buck-ass naked to prove a point, when a fight, or because someone tries to tell us what we can or can't do!
I can fully appreciate this because that is exactly how I am.
Many Americans also have a pretty bad work ethic.
I fall into that category too because I work very little but I have become very good at what I do and very efficient so it just looks like I try hard.
It's hilarious that people who know me and stop by and stuff think I'm busy all the time and do so much but I tell them I only hump when people like them are around because as soon as I get done I go back to slacking off doing nothing!
We joke all the time that the only people who work hard in America are asians, mexicans, and we often specify people from India too but they are also considered Asians now right??
They didn't used to be but now they are. Crazy! But I guess I don't make the rules...sadly.
When they make me supreme dictator of the earth I will fix all the problems and situations.
Many decisions won't be popular.....but---

I do believe a better word would have been elitism or snobbery etc because that word racism and racist is used far too often by too many people as a broad catch-all term when it's just not right.

The blue undies wearers have to hate the red undies wearers so they will get off their butts & Vote
And of course the same happen with the other side
IF the people are too busy fighting with each other they do not notice when they are being robbed blind
And the requirement for 1/2 billion every couple of years means the government will always be in the pockets of big business.
That is why I get 12 months warranty on the parts I buy from Rotary , Orgon , Prime LIne & Stens where s you smucks just get 1 to 3 months on the exact same parts .
This is why my hernia operation cost me $ 800 and that was 3 visits to the surgeons rooms
The operation + 2 days in hospital cost zip where as you saps have to take out a second mortgage for the same opp.
This is why the most I can ever pay for medicines that are on the PBS is $ 350 / year
This is why there has never ever been a school shooting ( yes criminals still have guns and they always will )
This is why we do not have death duties or inheritance tax
Because we are not preoccupied hating the person next door because his undies are the wrong colour, we can all hate the politicians together
Then we have more than 2 parties a basically labour party, originally fully financed by unions , a weirdly named Liberal party who are a very loose alliance of every one who detests organised labour & want pseudo-slavery introduced . They are in an almost permeant alliance with the farmers party, used to be called Country Party , now the Nationals so they are our conservaties. Then to protect those frogs & flowers we have the Greens , a bunch of very young city living environmental warriors who should be the natural partners of the farmers, but they hate them because they "destroy the land " . so goofy greens usually side with the labour , then for the right wing racists there is the "One ( white ) Nation" For the evangelicals there is a plethora of "christian" parties, some state some federal but of curse being Christians they all hate each other because one book has 3 more pages than the other book and a heap of very minor parties some with 1 or 2 senators others with just 1 lower house member .
So your paralysed parliaments never happen and extreme right or left legislation rarely happens because they always need one of the minor parties to vote for a bill so the minors get small amendments which gives then something t crow about come election time .
An independent group schedule votes so no speaker can defile democracy as Johnston is doing now
Both the government , the opposition & the cross benches can introduce a bill ( restrictions on the number ) then the bill is read for the first time and debated then and there .
Usually a week or so latter it is read a second time with any ammendments then voted on and if passed, goes onto the the Senate for a debate & vote, if ammended it goes back to the house the back to the senate
And the real killer for stable government is preferential voting So you decide who you hate the most and they get the highest number then one you hate slightly less gets one number less to you end up with the person you hate least who gets your number 1 vote .
So when the count is done if the difference between 1 & 2 is less than the sum of the others then the lowest No 1 votes get distributed to the other candidates according to who you gave the number 2 to , And this continues till there is a clear winner so often the person with the most No 1 votes does not get elected and the person who is elected is the one that the least number of people hate .
Then we have absentee voting so on polling day I can vote any where in the nation for a federal election & anywhere in a state for a state or local election .
Postal voting , which by the way always favours Labour ( Dems to you )
Pre poll voting, always favours the Liberals
Normal voting and for my electorate of 120,000 there are 46 polling booths , early voting always favours the libs & late voting always favours labour
So your 2020 vote went exactly the same as any vote in Australia would go
Conservatives in a clear lead with prepolls and early booth returns , around 50:50 for the rest of the day and a strong Labor ( dems ) postal vote
Postal are often not counted on the day if one candidate has an unassailable lead but do get added over the week so some one might win with 55% on the night but by the end of counting be down as low as 51%.
And the real beauty of compulsory voting is there has to be 120,000 votes because there are 120,000 in the electoral district thus idiot claims like 4,000 phantom votes delivered in a wheel barrow can not happen and if the final count is out by more than the winning margin then a recount happens and if tat confirms the descrepency then a frsh ballot ( must be same candidates ) hapens within 1 month
So you can see why we consider our system the stupidist system on the planet and any vote that is voluntary is open to corruption .

IT is your 2 party system and voluntary voting that is the basis of thatSnip snip
We actually don't even like each other.
