my tensioner is pretty stressed with my belt, but i dont care. It kinda evened out once it got some wear on it. It SUCKED trying to swap a belt while the engine was boiling hot...
88.2" is too short. it fits if i bypass the idler pulley (along with the smog pump), but then it is little loose for my liking (the tensioner is almost completely extended). the other size they carry is 88.7", but they didn't have it in stock. maybe tomorrow. it will probably also be too short. the stock belt is back on right now.
well, the 88.7" is too short too. i could get it on if i also bypassed the tensioner, but i did not think it was a good idea to bypass the tensioner, so i went back to the 89.5". 89.5" fits ok, but there is just not alot of room left for the tensioner.
i think if i could get a 89.0", that would probably be the length i would end up with.
