Yes, but I suppose any damage would happen when the engine is first started after the new belt was put on. It seems to run ok once a bit of speed is up, it runs a bit unevenly and is very smokey at idle. I suppose we will just have to wait and see how it runs once the belts have been put on properly to see if there has been any damage.
