timing pulley washer questions

[1Gina2G]

is there a washer that's on the idle or tensioner pulleys at all? if so, what side?

can anybody confirm that the actual tensioner arm is held in place by a washer as well? it seems like you would atleast need one where the arm meets up to the motor mount.

Small lock washers on the pulleys and big flat one on the tensioner arm.

For all three bolts, there is a lock washer that goes with them. There is an additional, large outer diameter, plain washer for the tensioner arm bolt.

The washers slip onto the bolts before threading them in; they do not go between the pulley and the block.

Answer, is yes to the idler tensioner and the stationary idler. And reuse them between the bolt head and bearing.

I do stand corrected, there are small lock washers (had to go and look at my engine on the stand).

thanks everyone for the replies! so all 3 have lockwashers on the bolts, and the arm does have a big flat washer. so to clarify, the pulleys don't have any regular flat washers? just lock washers?

Correct.

The original bolts come with the lock washers assembled to (i.e., not separate from) them. People overlook them because they never have to keep track of where the washers disappear to since they always remain on the bolt.
