Joe, thank you for the response. I do have the newer type mechanical (non-hydraulic) tensioner. I looked behind the cover today to figure out what parts to order. This also means the belt is a different part number according to FCP Groton. Does this mean cars with the newer pulley/belt are 105K interval vehicles? I suspect so, but I am changing mine now at 65K because the car is 9 years old and the stories I hear are scary. Both tensioner and belt for my car cost $100 shipped from FCP Groton, so I am not complaining.

Now for the procedure on adjusting the newer type tensioner. I have read that if you have the new type, take it to the dealer as they have some sort of temperature adjustment tool/procedure. I am not buying it. I think it can be done in a tree shade. Assuming the engine is cold and the ambient is around room temperature (68-70 degrees), the indicator needs to align within the sights, correct? If you have the proper procedure, please let me know, but I do not think this type of tensioner is anything special. The adjustment is for the range of the tensioner. Since the belt probably shrinks when hot you don't want to adjust it too tight. That's my conjecture, of course, do let me know if I am way off course.

Thanks in advance!
