Are there 2 Timing Belt Tensioner Pulleys on a ATX??

[ROB L]

I desperately need a Timing belt tensioner pulley for my 1993 SHO ATX.

I am also told by many parts guys that there are 2 timing belt tensioners on my SHO, BUT I only see 1. It is on the left side if I were sitting on the motor facing the H2O pump. I have been told the LH one is obsolete, but the right one is not???

Are there really 2??? I don't have the bottom timing cover off, only the top one.

In any case where can I get this pulley.
I tried the dealer, and Ford Parts network so far.....
Thanx So Much,
ROB

The right pulley near the front of the car is not a tensioner, but instead just a solidly mounted idler pulley that shortens the long span of the belt on the tight side to reduce vibration and change the path of the belt a bit for parts clearance and greater wrap around the front cam pulley. Only the rear pulley that is mounted on the pivoting lever and pressed against the belt by the gas piston is really a belt tensioning component.

Here is the image of the only tensioner on the 3.2L engine's timing belt.

In this photo you can see the front idler pulley immediately below the front camshaft pulley.

Awesome info/pics.

So what I need is the idler pulley in your second pic, ricght below the front cam pulley.

Any idea what part # I am looking for??
Can I get this pulley or is it obsolete???

Thanx Again,
