Timing Belt. How Tight?

wlspn · 2010-03-21T01:37:02+0000

As above how do I judge how tight to do my timing belt? Was done less than 1000km's ago but a mate tightened it while I was working on other things & it made a lot of bearing noise despite new idler & tensioner bearings being fitted. Now I have pulled it down to fit an adjustable cam-gear & want to be sure its tensioned correctly... In a DIY thread on here they said to turn engine over & tighten tensioner bolt at same time? I tried that & it seems WAY too loose! Anyone got any other methods?

  Thanks! Safety wise probably should have a cage, but I drive it a few times a week for school drop offs and after school activities. So just hoping to go out and do a glory pass and see what it will do

  Don't just call around, also call Shannon's. You've just reminded me, I need to call them again and push my premium down and my agreed values up...
