78 NYB squeals



I may have missed a post that explained that soap was a good idea for slipping/squealing belts. 
 
Why did you put soap onto your belts? 
 
I normally think of soap as closer to a lubricant than anything else and would not have thought to try that, so this is why I ask.  It seems to me that the squeal is not unlike when tires are spinning against the ground and not getting traction.  Your goal should be traction, I should think?
 
I have not used it, but am aware that more fully-stocked parts places have what is called "belt dressing" or some such that can be sprayed onto belts to increase "traction" or whatever.  I took a hand-file and carefully scuffed the V surfaces of good belts that I had that were glazed and that took care of it for me on my '73.

Hello list,
The new timing chain is on and the engine seems
fine after starting instantly. Thanks to all for the
advice.
At idle all is well, but as I rev up the engine,
the belts (I think) gradually start to squeal. I put
soap on the belts, which didn't help, as well as a
soapy water solution, which also didn't help. I can
depress the belts about 1/2" and are about at tight as
I thought I could get them.
Any suggestions to get rid of the squeals?

thanks
Bruce S
