Is there so much tension on the belts that I would need to loosen it before attempting to tighten? or is it the way it is on all xfires? I'd hate to find out the hard way...on the freeway if it backs out all the way. Thanks
Ok Heres a pic. If anyone could take a peek at their own and let me know if they see the same thing or is this supposed to be tightened all the way down. service manual says like 11 lbs of torque though I know I put much more than that and it didnt budge. Any help would be much appreciated!
