Yes use spring tension but make sure you turn the engine slightly clockwise before you tighten the tensioner bolt to allow it to take up any slack.

I am installing a new timng belt on my silvertop and my problem is this, I don't know exactly where to position the timing belt tensioner pulley. Do I just let the spring on the tensioner pulley tighten the belt on its own or is there a method for getting the tension exactly right. Any elp would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

i would also use a screwdriver and push on the tensioner then let it come back to spring loadOriginally Posted by FASTFOO
