I'm putting my engine back together after getting head work done and want to make sure I get everything back exactly right. I was looking for a front view of a 300sdl which had a good shot of the idler pulley. There is one part (#360 in the manual) that I am not 100% sure of placement. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

Not sure how good of a shot I can get of the actual pulley since mine is currently together. Do you have a picture of what yours looks like that you can notate what it is you have a question about? I can take a picture of what mine looks like if it is accessible. Attached is a downward view (I think)

I have a 603.960, vstech and I reworked the entire belt tensioner system:

Any time and it was no trouble at all. It took all of 3 minutes of my time. Hard to find people that have the 300SDL so it is good to be able to share information when you can.
