I've looked arund and I cannot find what I need to tension the alternator belt to once I reinstall it. Anybody know?

[Vivek]

They 16x7 et25 (i believe) all around after spacers..

Yeah, see i'm at 16x9 and after spacers it's et10. It already rubs in the back a little bit on one side. And I need spacers in the front to clear the calipers.

I'm not asking how to tension it, I'm asking how much to tension it.

[kronus]

you should be able to twist the belt about 90 degrees when it's "tight"

I was hoping for a number value to go for on a belt tension gauge, but I'll give this a shot.

Alright guys. I got my es put back together ;)

It starts it runs, it drives, but there is one thing.

The car runs a little bit rough/loud. While at idle it shakes a bit more than before, and is loud. I think it might be the valves. We put them at .010".

What do you guys think?

[kronus]

Valves wouldn't cause shaking. Verify that all your cylinders are firing.

[mbonanni]

That is what my dad suggested. I am going to go start it after I finish some homework.

The thing is that once the rpms get up the car is completely smooth, is this normal with a misfire?

My car it had a bad icv and the rpm's would dip low and shake the car
