1) I followed the tensioning procedure as specified by the manual. 3 teeth with the tenshioner loosened then torqued to spec. I'm not really even sure you could call it a whine. It may just be me being paranoid. It's hardly audible.
2) After I removed the sprocket key I put it back in afraid that it (sprocket) may slip or something. I put both keys back where I found them.
3) There was a plate that went between the pulley and the sprocket. And I of course put it back in its place. I didn't have the pulley installed when the belt was working it's way off the gears. I was turning the motor with it off while tensioning. I figured that with the plate and pulley installed the belt could no way come off the gears.
Im about to go for a drive now to see if I can hear any excess whining from the belt. There was a tiny,wee bit of slack(im not sure I would even call it slack), between the cam gears. I am able to push and pull the belt up and down just a tiny bit. I'm thinking that it's not suppose to be completely and absolutely tight. I was reading that the T belt can be overtightened and figured that this much movement in the belt should be acceptable. The belt is pretty much tight around all with little or no slack. I hate to use that word slack....deflection?
I gonna go drive it. I'll let you know if it breaks down :noes:
