I searched with no luck. TB tension, how much??
Well likew the topic say's I searched and did not find an answer. I am going to finish my TB change (after I get the broken tensioner bolt out 
) and realized that my manual doesn't say how much tension should be on the timing belt. Does anyone know how much tension should be put on the belt? Do I just push the pully all the way loose, blot it tight loose, then after the new belt's on just unbolt it and let the spring do all the work? Should the spring (with the bolt loose) be the only pressure on the TB or do I have to pull on it and tighten the tensioner?
Cliff's: How much TB tension? Do I just loosen the tensioner bolt and let the spring put tension on it and tighten it? Will the spring provide enough tension or do I have to pull on it more??? Please help.

Here's how I do it:
Loosen the bolt in the middle of the tensioner.
Turn the engine CCW to TDC on #1.
Turn the engine slowly CCW so there is no slack in the belt on the long segment between the drive gear and the exhaust cam gear and on the short segment between the two cam gears. Both of those segments should be taut.
Tighten the bolt in the middle of the tensioner.
DONE!
