Balance shaft idler pulley problem

[slikvik]

I took my balance shaft idler pulley off to change the balance shaft belt. Only now I don't remember which way it goes back on. Does the part with the ridge go on the outside or inside?

Here are some pics I found, the first one has the ridge on the inside, and the second has the ridge on the outside. I would think the ridge would go on the outside to prevent the belt from slipping.

I think you're referring to the BS tensioner pulley. The lip goes on the outside (driver's side). The 2nd pic shows the correct orientation.

Yeah, I meant tensioner pulley. Thanks for the input.

I went ahead and put it on with the lip on the outside.

Just to be sure you might want to search or ask a 1g wiseman (like Steve) and post result here so we all know.
I say this because on the 2g's it's different depending on year:
Quote from VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions "NOTE that if you are replacing the balance belt tensioner pulley, there is a lip on this pulley - on 95s, the lip goes on the inside, towards the block. 97-up, possibly 96-up, have a different pulley with a smaller lip, their pulley installs with the lip on the outside."

Never mind - just found it's on the outside for 1g (post 15 here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/296472-need-someone-double-check-time-my-car.html).

Yes, the lip does indeed go on the outside. Thanks for the replies guys.
