Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley Question

[sleepydsm]

I know that is a very confusing portion of the timing belt. You need to make sure the tensioner pulley bracket does NOT move while you are torquing that bolt on the tensioner pulley. The manual says start with the two holes lined up horizontally below the bolt. I took a 90 degree bent pick and used it to apply light pressure to the belt (it's about 2-3 ftlbs! so don't go crazy!). I pushed it up to the upper left (turn it clockwise basically). Then torque the pulley bolt to the 30-ish ftlbs. Don't freak out when the pulley moves a tiny bit towards the belt when you torque it. Then release the tensioner and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Make sure you pull anything out of the balance shaft "test hole" (if you have balance shafts) and then turn the engine over, I believe four times to make sure all the timing marks are lined up properly.
**note** In my Chilton, it says to turn the tensioner counter-clockwise, but that will not work with where the belt is placed. I can't remember why exactly, but yeah listen to my advice at your own risk. All I can say is that the all the DSM's I've done a timing belt on have been done correctly and have never had a timing belt-related issue.
