Belt Tensioner!
 
Does anyone know of a belt tensioner for the modular engines for when you are only running an alternator? I have an electric waterpump and just the alternator. On my last engine, we made one up but would like a "proper" tensioner if possible. Any ideas?

Yeah, just want something practical rather than the last bolt/slider/idler combo I had.

:D

Thats the way I have been running off and on, but if I am in staging lanes any length of time, unless I keep the booster with me, sometimes I will lose a vew volts out of the battery, and we all know what tht does to fuel injection. So for this engine, I am going to run an alternator.

Ya, some days I wish I would have gone this route. Maybe will yet in a few seasons.
