Urgent Timing Belt Tensioner help needed

[nick_w]

Does anyone know the correct way to install the timing belt tensioner spring. Does the outer spring tag sit against the stud sticking out of the block.

Also, from what i understand, the tensioner spring tensions itself when the motor is turned over by hand a few times and then the tensioner bolt is tightened...is this right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Thanks heaps for the posts. I got it right...by luck. Saves me pulling everything off again!

As far as I can see the rb20 timing belt setup and the RB25 timing belt setup are identical (except for maybe bolt torques and spring tension etc).

Mental note, dont let your girlfriend look over your shoulder while you are doing a timing belt job again...you need all the concentration you can get

thanks again, im sure other people will make use of the attachments

cheers
