Timing belt tensioner pin

[TMB]

Sorry to keep asking questions. But the pin that holds the bottom of my timing belt tensionor in place fell out and I have no idea where it went. I'm going to call the dealership in the morning and see if they can get it. Does anyone know what it's called or where to get it otherwise?

Are you referring to the tensioner spring. As far as I know the only two components is the pensioner idler and the spring behind it.

I actually found the piece after I posted this. Took me about an hour to find it and I had all my tools put away before I found it, typical.

No, not the spring. The tensioner gets bolted to the block through the middle of the idler. But the tensioner has two holes, right? That other hole drilled in the steel "arm" of the tensioner sits on this pin. It is what allows it to pivot.

Knurl it between 2 files and use loctite to put it back in for good. It shouldnt have fallen out.
