torque specs for AC tensioner?

[kolosy]

can't seem to find it anywhere.. i've got the later hydraulic tensioner for ccw ps pump.

Oops, meant this for the general forum. Oh well.

I recall using 24 NM for the bolt to block and 40 for the bolt securing the pulley to the tensioner arm.

I should say I never found the exact spec so I used kind of general torque specs for m6 into aluminum.

awesome, thanks. the 40NM number pops up in newtis here https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...supply/5yhnA2X but i'm reading that as the torque spec for the idler sitting on the oil filter housing. do you read that differently?

I don't know, I can't use that site. links don't open for me. I looked it up on my copy of ISTA and searched here and never found a specific number for the bolt you're asking about. When I rebuilt my tensioners, anything that secured the pulley to it's mounting point on the tensioner arm got 40NM. Anything that secured the tensioner arm to the block got 24 NM (23.96 on my stupid torque wrench). If it's an M8 going into the OFH securing the idler, 40 NM should work. If you feel that's too high start off at 33 and if that feels like you're moving too much metal leave it there.

cool, thanks. just for posterity, here's what's behind that link (and is the only reference i found to the tensioner or idler)
