Default Idler/tensioner pulleys

I cannot find my Haynes manual and I am changing my tensioner and idler pulleys. Can someone post the torque specs for those bolts and are they the usual torque to yield?

just make sure they're tight enough but you don't need to go crazy on them

Yeah. I'm thinking the same. I will put a drop of med. loktite on them just for safety. I'm installing the Wazee aluminum pulleys to replace the stock (which are failing). I should have some pics up by Tuesday.

Okay, two pullies are on thus far. I am not sure the tensioner pulley is going to fit just looking at it on the car. I'm not touching it until I find my Haynes.

The two idlers, one smooth, one ribbed, are on and seem to work well. The ribbed one is actually a 2.75 unit as he was out of 3". The 2.75 is for the LS1, but fits fine.

I spoke with Mike at Wazee and told him that if these were anodized/powercoated black, he could sell more. I'll talk to him again this week and ask him if he has any plans to offer that.

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.
