Default Cambelt tension
Hi folks, I’ll be changing my cambelt at the weekend, does any one know how tight the belt needs to be? Cheers

Yeah so before you take the old belt off, have a feel of the belt between the pulleys.

about that tight.

if it whines when you start it up, it's too tight.

I could quote the SEEM units, but nobody knows what they are. It's all down to experience really. hard to describe the tension otherwise.
