The FSM calls for one and in the drawing it looks kinda like a V shaped wire. When I tore my motor apart, there was no such animal! Please explain what it looks like, where it goes, what is it's function and where do I get one! If anyone has a pic I'm sure I could locate one at Pick-N-Pull. When I installed the timing belt I just pulled up on the tensioner bracket to adjust the belt tension then tightened down the stud. I'm sure that's not right! Any help is greatly appreciated! |

As Big Rhino said, you're probably cool. As long as it's not flailing about trying to jump off, or making a sick whining noise, you're close enough. |

Good enough for me! I'm off to go bolt on the timing cover. Thanks! |
