1G Timing Belt Tensioner Washer?

[thetech0922]

Ok stupid question: Timing belt tensioner..I bought OME parts for my timing belt kit. Both pulleys, belt, auto-tensioner, and the cylinder the pushes on the auto-tensioner. Bolted it all back up but my auto-tensioner is dragging?? I put a washer behind it that fit the bolt perfectly and it spins without any issues. Here is a picture of what i am talking about. 1 is where i put the washer behind

There should be a MD129421 washer behind the tensioner pulley.

ok thank you. I put one behind it that fit very well. Do think it will be ok or do i need to put the factory one behind it? The motor is out of the car fully assembled about to be dropped in next week.

I'll have to look and see if I still have the original washer on the mount I replaced (the tensioner arm pivot wore out) and if so measure it's thickness.

Edit: Turns out I misread the diagram in CAPS and there isn't a washer behind the tensioner pulley. Are you sure you have the right tensioner pulley? There is a difference between the 1G (MD129355) and 2G (MD182537) ones.

Yeah i never put a washer behind my 6-bolt tensioner pulley, it just sits flat aginst the the Tensioner Arm..Then the bolt is put through with a washer on the bolt (on top of the tensioner pulley) and torqued to 40 ft lbs..
