ive seen numerous people do it, however the gains i dont know about.

id say if anything...you just take some strain off the motor which cant hurt it

although, who knows the after effects if any.

ive done this to 3 of my cb7s. no extra vibration at all. and you can feel the extra gain you get from it too.

is it just simply just not use the lil belt??
cuz soon im a do a t-belt and all that cuz i have a cam seal leak, so when i buy the parts i wont need the smaller belt???

engine vibrates

what can cause it to vibrate in idle when the only motor mount i havent change is the one by the belts

Its recommended that you replace the seals as follows: Cam seal, Crank seal, Ballancer seal, Timing belt, Ballancer belt, and the water pump. Pump is obviously a bit harder, and i didnt do mine. I did do the rest however. Look at my thread "Ballancer shaft seal" for a picture.

yeah I did it to my F22 when I had to do the headgasket on it, all I did was leave the belt off and nothing was harmed from what I noticed, although I only drove the engine for about 5K before I swapped to an H22, so for longevity purposes I wouldn't know. But the car just felt a bit rougher at lower RPMs, like I could feel the engine more through the pedal area, but nothing bad or anything. I hardly noticed it after a week.
