Belt Tensioner Idler Pulley Drive Belt Replacement
The tension is building!

January 29, 2024
With Svengoolie on the ground I decided to start replacing the engine wear items. This is all part of my 50,000 miles maintenance, even though I'm a couple of thousand short of it.
I replaced the Drive Belt, Belt Tensioner, Idler Pulley and the Belt Tensioner Damper.
The Belt Tensioner Damper (looks like a small shock absorber) is mounted to the engine block and the back of the Belt Tensioner. It's only found on manual transmission cars.
Here are some pictures with descriptions on how I did the work on my car.
