 The previous pulley SI Bulletin (#2747) I mentioned, replaced the pulleys
 and installed a new belt.  The Upper pulley was changed from
 Aluminum to Steel.  All Oilheads AFTER 09/1994 had this change
 installed at production.  It was NOT a Service Action item and was
 Service Information only.

My RS(5/96 production) has the steel pulley but isn't the ELAST a different 
deal?  I was under the impression that my belt gets tensioned when installed 
and it goes for a 36K ride?
