I'm assembling back my engine after changing the headgaskets. I removed this entire adjusting bracket and I can't find the picture I thought I had took (maybe I didn't) that would show me how to put this back on.

I don't think I have it on right as it doesn't seem to adjust the tension correctly on the power steering belt. Can someone take a picture of theirs and post it or give me a little guidance. thanks.

Sorry not at home to take pic’s.

A question(2) I have,

1. Is the belt(s) in the correct position, not crossed up ?

2. Is there more than one belt tensor on your motor, if so are they in the correct location/ component?

The top of the bracket should be behind the tab instead of in front of it. ( Top Bolt)

It's not twisted or crossed. You might be right, there may be another bolt on the steering pump that I don't have in or lined up correctly.

You think the bracket should be behind the motor mount thing?

This is a 90' Camry v6 2VZ-FE..........should have put that to begin with

Thanks, but I figured it out. There was a pivot type bolt I took off from the top portion of the power steering pump that I didn't replace so it was just hanging really low so I didn't get enough tension.

That black/white pic must be from an odd angle or another engine because I tried to put it behind the engine mount bracket thing and it was all ****-eyed and unable to use one of the bolts in that manner.
