Is there any brand or type of belt that works better with engine braking compared to any others? Carbon or Kevlar? Gates or ?
Just installed a cvtech primary w/one way.
While it does the engine braking almost down to idle, once in a while you smell the belt and get a lil belt chirp when taking off.
I’m not an expert on this but the OEM belt (cvtech labeled) was what I thought installed backwards, the lettering on the belt is upside down and I see no arrows for rotation(crank rotation-CCW). I always thought the belt was supposed to be mounted when facing it you should be able to read the numbers.
