11214 is on the road.
I installed a new blue Gates timing belt (from JHPS) and used the Gates app to set it to a consistent 105 Hz.
I also replaced the tensioner bearings (also from the JHPS).
I read here that the tension/readings will go up when the belt is warmed up so I measured it and it came out at 135 Hz. Does anyone know the acceptable range when hot? I don't hear any whining or anything making me think that it's too tight. I *may* be a bit cautious as this is the first timing belt that I've installed.
Also, does anyone have any pictures of a Gates blue belt that's been run for a while? I just want to see what the wear looks like on a known good belt to compare with mine
Thank you,
Mark
