I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "foul the lower tensioner?" the back of the belt will still be resting on the flat of the tensioner, it will just be resting on it with a different direction of force. does that make sense?RichardW wrote:If that's the set up on THe Agent's car, then it's not going to work The belt coming back from the Alt is going to foul the lower of the two tensioner pulleys.
Although.... it might be possible to go crank pulley, top tensioner, HP pump, alternator, allow the front of the belt to rub on the guide pulley (or remove the pulley), then back to the crank pulley. You're only going to get 1/2 turn on the HP pump, it might chirrup a bit, but it should work. Does the bottom pulley move in this set up or only the top - I've not had to work with one of these, only the earlier type set up.
That is if we put the belt on, the second way. its maintaining the force on the belt near to alternator that is the main problem, or I'm going to be back to square one, with regards to my battery going dead again lol
