How do you adjust the serp belt on a 91 beretta 2 point 2?
There is a belt tensioner that is spring loaded and it adjusts the tightness of the serp belt. The tensioner is self adjusting as the serp belt stretches out from use. You cannot adjust the belt tension yourself. If your serp belt is showing signs of cracking on the underside then you should replace it. If you suspect the belt tensioner is not putting enough tension on your serp belt then it should be replaced. I had a 1991 Corsica with the same motor and I had a belt tensioner break. This caused my serp belt to come off.

How do you repair a high pitched squeal on a 1997 blazer sound almost like locusts I already replaced tensioner ac compressor and actual serp belt?
If you have replaced all this it may not be a belt. It may be your alternator itself. These have bearings inside them and they do wear out. The only way to check is to remove the belt and spin the alternator to see if that is what is noisy. It may wobble if the bearings are bad. It should turn smoothly if not.

How do you replace timing chain on 96 ford escort?
it is actually a belt but that doesn't matter. remove the serp belt, then the serp belt tensioner (1bolt), then the timing cover (4bolts), remove #1 plug and take it to TDC (top dead center). the timing marks on the crank and cam should be inline with one another. with a timing belt wrench take tension off of the belt and remove. install new belt and repeat in opposite order. that's it pretty easy really. I would recomend that you replace the water pump while you have it apart. it is ran off the timing belt and will fail at some point, and depending on your engine size could cause internal mechanical failure if it does fail. easier to replace while you are there and everything is dissaembled. good luck
