I have looked every where and can't find the torque for the bolt that holds the belt tenisor to the motor, my shop book don't cover it.

a bit past snug should be fine, it's a pretty small bolt. use a 1/4" ratchet and make it feel tight. my guess would be something like 25 INCH pounds.

Snug, just enough so it won't back out.

Are we talking about the same bolt that takes a 12 Mm allen wrench. This bolt holds the belt tensionor to the front of the motor. And I was reading some searches and someone said 80 lbs. torque. This is the same bolt on the 300 SDL that broke out the front casting on the 603 motor. Just want to make sure on the torque.
