Hi,
I'm on the hook checking the engine. Alternator belt tension needed tightening. I have done this. But what is the right tension? Half inch of play? I have it fairly tight atm. Hard to be explicit without a tension guage, which I do not have. If I press with the thumb I can depress it to touch the filter with some pressure. So I think its tight but not so tight I'm going to mess the bearings up. What do you think? Thanks.![20240809_135335.jpg 20240809_135335.jpg](https://ybw-data.community.forum/attachments/131/131988-fa46ba25c72727a1cc92c3665659d0fe.jpg)
