Got some spacers done for the PS pump and just need 2x 12mm spacers for the Alternator then I will be on To making the tensioners.
So let's see if my memory serves me correct or not. This is the first 3B block I've had , past engines were AAN . This is a 3B block with aan head which shouldn't change anything as far as the belt goes .
The timing belt looks tight to me .
I've double checked my PN 054 109 119 G . If I want to get the belt on the tensioner has to be as loose as it can go and that puts the belt at proper tension .absolutely no slack anywhere .
Idler pulley looks right too : INA F-220125
Bottom pulley is stock , can gear is Tommi's billet for I-5

It must also be pretty heat resistant to have it on the turbo housing!
I have used it on valve covers in the past and it seems to hold up really well against small scratches from install / tools / etc
