3.2 swap?

[shoftw]

when switching all of the 3.0 accesories over to the 3.2. do u absolutly have to use the 3.0 timing tensioner?

I'm 99% sure the answer is yes, but even if not, why wouldn't you? All you have to do is move the stud to a hole that's already tapped and add a dowel that's already drilled out. Not to mention the ATX tensioner fails more, being hydraulic.

yes you do as it sits in a different location and would not provide the proper tention to the belt

Yes is how I do it.

ok so i got the 3.0 tensioner off the old motor and got the pin relocated to the 3.2 block but know how do i get the bolt out of the 3.0 block and into the 3.2 block?

Take two nuts that will thread on to the stud put one on there and tighten the second one on after it then loosen the original one you put on if that makes any sense. The stud should thread out. Mine did when I did my 3.2 swap.

Flangenuts is how I do it every time too. Good luck, it's not that hard.
