See attached | | | 12-10-2014, 09:21 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2014 Location: Hawaii Posts: 114 | If you want to save money when replacing the Mechanical Belt Tensioner (item #2), from the previous attachment, you can just replace with item # 6 (Adjusting Pulley), see the attachment but make sure the Mechanical Belt Tensioner is serviceable otherwise replace the Mechanical Belt Tensioner Assembly. | | | 12-10-2014, 02:50 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: usa Posts: 378 | thanks guys!!! so here is my thought, why do the later ti's not have the pulley? if you look at my pic in the first post, without the pulley the belt barely grabs only 25% (90 degrees) of the alternator pulley, still spins fine, but wouldn't you be better off as a precaution to have this pulley installed? at which time the belt would grab about 50% of the pulley (180 degrees)? I'd love to know the reasoning behind 98-99s not having them. | | | 12-10-2014, 02:53 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 867 | after searching bfc it's varied on bigger engines too. __________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] | | | 04-25-2015, 11:10 PM | #13 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Georgetown, MA Posts: 20 | My 98 doesn't have it, BUT... ...found the spacer for the pulley lodged within the Intake Sandwich recently when I had it apart. So did mine originally have it and the PO took it off? Highly likely. PO had lots of things apart on the car over the years. One less pulley would mean less tension on the belt drive system, but since I found the spacer loose in the engine I'm guessing mine originally had the idler pulley. I bought the pulley so I'm going to see what happens.... | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
