It should be torqued at 15 ft lbs. The tab should be at the 7 o'clock position between the locators. If you install the belt and it is too tight, and the tensioner won't adjust it, the water pump can be turned to adjust the belt.

At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
