im taking the head off my x16xe and im struggling with the alternator belt as the tensioner seems to be inbetween the block and the engine mount.
im finding the engine mount to be in the way is there any ways round this or will i have to jack up the engine from underneith and take off the mount.
if anyone could help me out that wuld be great as the haynes manual doesnt seem to explain itself very well.
cheers.mark
