Default Cam belt tension
My dad just asked me basically the same question as asked before here:

https://passionford.com/forum/ford-sierra-sapphire-rs500-cosworth/251415-help-using-cam-belt-tension-gauge.html


Anybody know how to use these? My dad isn't sure how the chart should be read or used.

anybody know?

looking at it you need to know the load on the cam belt.

so does anybody know what it should be for a 2.0 pinto?

cheers

Certainly don't need one of these on a pinto, just std 90 degree twist rule.
