Belt tensioner question - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Corvette95 · 06-12-2020

Got my engine back together last night, - fired up, belt tensioner is jumping around and making a "clicking" noise when it does. It was doing this before I torn the car down. I sent my tensioner to Marc H for rebuild. Belt is routed right and I used a NOS correct Goodyear belt, anything to adjust or check besides then tensioner - I would assume it is the internal tensioner spring? Also, I know the tensioner can be mounted incorrectly - hard to do but possible, mine is installed correctly. Any thoughts
