Screech!

My 85 RX7 likes to screech really loud around 5k rmp, making redlining not really an option.

I have exploded a belt or two (no power steering, so only two belts) and have adjusted belt tensions a few times. Granted I have adjusted using the defraction of what appears to follow the manual guidlines, but haven't used an actual tool to measure it.

Should I get a belt tensioner? Is it not even a belt?

Thank you,
Sarah
