    Im about to set the final tension on the cam belts.. i know it is to be set at 2.5mm . Im on the right side facing the motor should i put my feeler gauge on the left of the tensioner or on the right of the tensioner where the lip is higher? Im talking about the right side tensioner facing the motor . thank you for all your help.

    I could use this information as well. For some reason when I view that thread I can't see the pics.

    That's strange. I can open the thread and see the pictures. Hmmmmm? Have you tried closing FChat and reopening? ( I'm guessing now.)

    It is strange, if you read that thread other members were having the same problem.

    I tried on my iphone and I can see the pic... very weird.

    Now let me ask a nob question... Is this how the tension on the cam belt is to be set for a 355? I mean with the gap gauge and not with a belt tension tool?

    I have always used the feeler gauges.

    I took this method straight from the workshop manual : ). I suppose one could use a tensioning tool, but I don't remember the WSM giving a tensioning spec. I'm not anywhere near my copy of the manual, or I would let you know what page to look on.
