348 348 timing belt tension application and detail?

First timer!!!. I have read through a ton of threads for hours and I haven’t found a specific way to tension the belt an easier way than with the workshop books recommended tensiometer. I have heard of an app for the phone that can be used, but hit a dead end. A step-by-step would be super helpful[emoji4]. Of course any help would be much appreciated! Dropped the motor out last night with the help of everyone’s comments on the forum and YouTube so thank you very much! Image Unavailable, Please Login

Between the tensioner and the first cam?

The 348 WSM has the details you need. also here -> https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/staeger-tool-on-ferrari-348-belts.556482/page-2

I would not try a major without looking though the WSM a lot first. Pretty sure when they say TDC they mean true TDC.

Thanks for your help[emoji1360]. I have looked through the manual and will at least 2 more times…I did see this but it referred to tensioning with the tensiometer. I wasn’t sure what the procedure was for doing it with the guitar pick method. Thanks!

Manual uses the Staeger tool, there is no method documented method for frequency.
