Default pulley questions

I just installed my Unorthodox Underdrive Pulley Kit, and in the morning when i go to start up my car i hear a weird screeching sound, not horrible, but just enought to where i cought it. im pretty sure its comming from the pulleys and i only hear it the verry first time i first start my car. Im thinking the crank pulley might be on too tight... What do you guys think. Is it something to get worried about?

Its a belt squeel, Usually comes from belt being too tight/loose/low oil in your power steering resorvoir. One way of checking tightenss on a belt is to take the belt and twist it. It should only turn about 1/4 turn or 90 degrees. Anymore, its loose, any less, its tight.

its either not the right belt for the kit or the belt is just old and worn out

Ill give the belts a tightness check LOL but as far as being worn out they're not, they're brand new, they came with the kit.

it's either too tight or too loose, make sure to use a torque wrench when doing this

Mine does this mostly in the cold weather sometimes, it is such a pain in the a$$ to get to the belts from under the car, guess I will be joining you adjusting my belts this weekend also. Good luck
