Rubbertoe Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I'm using a 26mm cambelt on a non VVC engine with manual tensioner (23mm came off). Set tension using tension spring pn.LHR10005 (sleeved). is this ok or should I be using the VVC spring for setting tension given the wider belt?

revilla Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The VVC spring is actually softer and sets the tension lighter to protect the VVC mechanism bearings. If you don't have the VVC mechanisms, I would just set it as a non-VVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbertoe Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 (edited) That's great, thanks. Seemed a little slacker than I'd expect around the pump (obviously plenty tight between cams and crank pulley due to rotating + cam tension) but must be ok then. It's a tad under halfway on the tensioner slot. Thats slightly less than on the old 23mm belt, tensioner and pump - assume manufacturing / fitting variations Edited April 5 by Rubbertoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
