1994 8v timing belt tension

[fixkick]

please now I can not see the belt being installed , and sure it is not obvious and a tad tricky and some parts you buy are just the wrong parts (try advanced out or napa)

the old belt is loose, all belts go lose worn, why say it is tighter sure it is but must do 2 things
it must fit with idler in place and its back tab indexed as my page show under idler
and spring stud loose the spring pushes the idler to the belt. under spring tension, must work, now.
there are many belts. sizes

gates I must use the catalog builder there at gates.
TCK164. is the kit , number
belt only is T164.
16v is T212

now i read the gates full spec. and the
16v is 95 teeth on belt., 19mm wide, 9.5pitch same on both, 905mm long T212
8v is 103 teeth on belk, 25mm wide, 9.5mm pitch same and 981mm long. 2.87 inches longer , t164

I call wrong belt devil be damned box number,
proof is in the spec.

the cam on the 8v and 16v are off set, left to right due to 2 lifer rails on 16v, so the belt is no the same.

the tooth count nails this if patch is 9.5mm
