Whatever is done, even confuzean coreography jazz by FSM, the end result is what counts: check the belt tighness as specified by FSM - 10kpm force on mid belt causes 12mm (or even half inch) travel downward.
If this check is ok, doesnt matter how that point was reached. What matters is if u recheck the tightness, also later near end of belt lifetime... |
hmm ok. well, as much as i hate taking off the timing cover on-car i guess i have to bite the bullet this time, and make sure the belt tension is OK. I guess Harbor Freight will have a little scale like that? i'm doing a 3G maxima timing belt on thursday as well, and i want to make sure i get it right, because the car won't be as readily accessible to me as matt's car is...
