To correctly tension a V-belt, first, ensure that the pulleys are aligned properly. Then, apply pressure on the belt at its midpoint; the deflection should typically be about 1/2 inch for every foot of span between the pulleys. Adjust the tension by repositioning the motor or using a tensioning device until the desired tension is achieved, and finally, check the alignment and tension again after securing everything in place. Proper tension helps prevent slippage and extends the lifespan of the belt.

How do you check the engine belt tension pulley?
There are a few different ways to adjust the drive belt or V-belt tension in a vehicle. The most popular used nowadays is a serpentine belt that connects to and activates every pulley in the engine. These serpentine belts require no tension adjustment as they incorporate an automatic belt tensioner. This type of tensioner has an internal pre-set spring and applies the correct amount of tension to the belt. Some older vehicles and some imports may use a combination of V-belts and serpentine belts in offset pulleys still controlled by the crankshaft pulley. Most often, there are belt tensioners on these vehicles that allow proper tension to be adjusted.
