The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk -
Got one set out of 1000 right, good odds there -
For some reason when I initially saw the Rb timing set up I assumed that the tension was set automatically. Surprised that Nissan didn't do that or was that not a thing back then? -
I can direct you to a couple of videos on line where there is evidence to the contrary. -
Well, twisting it to see if it has teh rigth tension is perfectly acceptable. You're not going to harm it by twisting it as far as you can. If it is too loose you will be able to twist it more, and the tension will end up the same as if you can only twist it the rigth amount or if it is already too tight and you can barely twist it at all.
