how do you set the auto-tensioner and tension pully (essentric) adjustment. The auto tensioner looks like it has a plunger that I can't collapse and the pully is on a swing arm and I need to know what degree to set the essentric.3.0L single overhead cam.

Use a vise to collapse tensioner (slowly) and then hold in place with a small drill bit (must be hard). Line up marks and install belt.Temporarily tighten eccentric against belt with tensioner installed. Turn crank 1/4 turn counterclockwise then 1/4 turn clockwise. Be sure marks still ine up.With pins at bottom of ecentric, tighten ececntric to 39 inch lbs against belt (requires special socket)
