Frankentensioner travel

[blacllkllsi]

How exactly do I measure the 2 inches of travel needed. I am looking at the pulley in the recessed area of the timing cover moving. Eyeballing it, it looks like 2 inches of travel to me but could use more insight. Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. I mean you have more than two inches of travel there. Why would that change? It should have the same travel as the stocker seeing how it is two of them put together.

You cut the stops off with a Frankentensioner which allows it to travel more.

I really can't tell if that's all she's got. Do you have any pics of where you cut the stops? If the stops are cut correctly it will travel enough.

Didn't know that

Why don't they just come cut to the correct size?

Because I would have to charge them the time/labor to do it which would drive the cost up considerably. It's not hard to do and it saves the customer money.

They're VERY inexpensive.

I also had to remove this sensor from the stub under the alternator, it was hitting the belt. The stud looks awfully close as well. I have seen some DOB install photos where this was left in place, removed or the stud removed completely. Is this normal?

FT looks good to me.

Whack that stud off.

 

[blacllkllsi]

Will do, thanks man.

that stud is super close on mine.

i found a hex head bolt that was the same size and replaced it, much smaller diameter of the head and doesnt stick out very far from the head

i forgot that stud once and cranked it up and it cut some some grooves into the smooth side of the belt, only ran it about 10 seconds before i saw it and shut it off

Thanks for the tip man. What is that sensor anyway? There are 2.

 

[Wes06]

they are signal reducers or something IIRC.

Basically prevent noise in the electrical system or something, just bolt it down anywhere you can.

I think mine is beside that studded bolt with the smaller head allen bolt since it doesnt get as close to the belt as that stock one

RF noise suppressors.

There is something like 25 of them in the car.

Most of them are in the car and part of the harness.

You don't want to find them!!!
