Belt Tightening Pulley
Product Description:
Ferrari part number 181264 is a belt tightening pulley. It is used to maintain the tension of the cam belt in a Ferrari 360. The cam belt is responsible for driving the camshafts, which in turn control the opening and closing of the valves in the engine. If the cam belt is not properly tensioned, it can slip or break, which can damage the engine.
The belt tightening pulley is a spring-loaded device that is mounted on the camshaft. When the engine is running, the spring applies tension to the belt, keeping it from slipping. The pulley also has a mechanism that allows the tension to be adjusted, which is necessary as the belt wears over time.
The 181264 belt tightening pulley is a critical component of the Ferrari 360\'s camshaft drive system. If it fails, it can cause the cam belt to slip or break, leading to serious engine damage.
Here are some of the symptoms of a bad belt tightening pulley:
- Engine misfires
- Rough idle

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have the belt tightening pulley checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
