The tensioner is spring loaded. Should tighten against the belt automatically if the correct sized belt is used.

Or are you talking about tightening the T-50 torx bolt that goes into the head?

well I tighten down the torx bolt down as much as it will go but the pulley would bounce up and down.

The spring could be busted. Possibly in need of a new tensioner. Does it have force to it?

it feels like it has force, I can't turn it with my bare hand and it just bounce up and down a very mildy nothing extreme. I would get another one but Im piss that I spent money to get it polished and now I can't even use it.
