I recently installed a new timing belt and I am ready to do the readjustment of removing the plug in the cover to loosen rotate the crank a tad and tighten things up. My memory fails me at this moment. In the FAQ's there is mention of rotating the crank clockwise. Is this clockwise from standing in front of the engine OR is it from the engines perspective? 37 ft lbs is the torque for the tensioner bolt.FYI . Cheers

    Clockwise, in this case, means as you are looking at the engine from the front--in the direction the engine turns when running. It only takes a partial revolution to put the TB slack on the idler pulley side of the engine. Remember to loosen the locking nut before turning the crankshaft. - Dave
