    Wow damn Santana, it sounds like the keyway in your crank came out or something, because all of the belts turn off the crank pulley and if they're not turning that's more than likely the problem. Now get that fixed bro

    The same thing happened to me in my single cam. The bolt wasn't on there tight enough so it started to slide out and yea it's still on the crank and able to spin but not at 100% that's when things start to die on you and you're not able to crank up and go very far because the crank isn't fully turning the motor.

    crank was spinning if the motor was running. the main pully wasnt moving because the keyway probly came out. had this problem after I swaped on my underdrive pully. forgot the keyway and started the car and it ran fine but the pully was sitting still.
    Also if the bolt was really tight the crank could spin and the pully would spin untill it lossened up and the the pully stoped.


    (yea didn't make much sence to me ether I'm to tired to try to figure out what I ment.)
