Question New Belts Needed?

Driving home one night and I heard the pulleys starting to go so I decided to rebuild them. While I was cutting out the A/C belt to stop the horrific whine I noticed my other belts were deteriorating. I knew they needed changing but not that bad. So that's how I spent my day off, changed the valve cover gasket too and rebuilt the pulley bearings. Reminded me of when I rebuilt all my bearings on my Mt bike, skateboards, etc. it was cake. Now she purrs like a kitten.

You weren't asking if new belts are needed, were you? Because I think we all know the answer to that question. Anytime you have chunks of belt missing, they should have been replaced months ago! LOL

I knew they were bad, I was just making funny. I work tens and just had to wait till my day off to do the work. I had the belts already just incase of emergency.
