Hi people. Whats the tightening torque of the nut for the timing belt tensioner.

 

Just looked in blue book, it says 40 to 48 nm

cheers jason

 

Or right cool thanks. I think i might have fooked the threads on the stud cause the nut feels tight but it feels like it will still tighten a bit more.

 

oh, I've just had another look, the figures i stated it says theyre for the toothed belt tensioning pulley to cylinder head so i assume its the pulley nut

 

famous for pulling the stud out-dont take a chance with it-examine it in detail
could cost an engine...

 

Defo matey. I like my cossie to be right. Graham goode sells the studs and nuts so if its fooked which im sure it is i will but another one.

 

it can be the threads the stud goes into-so check that bit out -old age

 

I hope i dont end up drilling the cylinder head cause of the stud.

 

Just finished playing with the car. I was wide awake at 6am so i thought fook it get in the garage. I took the tensioner off. The stud and nut look fine. I put the tensioner back on and its defo tight now. I torqued it up too.

I wonder if i had a bit of cossie paranoia lol.

Im still waiting for a dizzy cap/arm to arrive then i will get the rest of the engine built up.

 

good that its not pulled out-better enjoying it than worrying about it

 

Yeh defo matey. Thanks to you all for the help.
