- Install tensioner bolt (2) to tensioner (1). Tighten bolt to 34 N.m (40 ft. lbs.) torque.

On all engines, the tensioner (1) is equipped with an indexing tang on back of tensioner and an indexing stop on tensioner housing. If a new belt is being installed, tang must be within approximately 6 - 8mm (0.24 - 0.32 in.) of indexing stop (i.e. tang is approximately between the two indexing stops). Belt is considered new if it has been used 15 minutes or less.
