    Default Engine(Serpentine) belt replacement question!

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, hope someone can help me. I'm looking at changing my VR's engine belt. My question is: Are there some timing marks that I need to mark before removing the old belt and putting the new one in? Or is it just a matter of making sure that the belt goes through the correct pulleys? Thanks in advance.

    as long as you put the new belt on the same as the old one came off without moving any of the pulleys it will be fine
    Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!

    makes no differnce if you move any of the pulleys or not.
    the belt has nothing to do with timing.
