There isn't really a RIGHT way to do the idlers.
Personally I like to align the pass side, keep it all tight over on the bottom to the driver's side. I'll then move the crank pulley sprocket about a tooth off and align everything on the pass up top, then move the sprocket back into timing place to make everything tight aside from where the tensioner goes. Bolt the tensioner in with a bit of pressure on the belt, pull the grenade pin, and turn it a few turns to see if it's still on the marks. Some people like to do it where the bottom idler is loose and pushed on last. Just depends. Also, top tip: chip bag holders work wonders for holding the belt on the driver's side cam gears. Where are you at? I may be able to help tomorrow if I get a few things done in the Impreza (street pad swap, exhaust manifold swap, making sure the battery doesn't puke up anymore acid, etc) and it wants to drive with the roasted to frigg clutch.

That made it way easier. So for future reference, lower idler goes on after belt. Plus thanks for the “chip clip” clamp tip to whoever said that. |

Also...holy **** why did no one come up with the chip clip idea a decade ago when I was in the midst of my Subaru-ness and doing multiple timing belt swaps!? So simple yet so amazingly helpful. I was always in need of extra hands to hold things so they didn't slip. |

Beers? Yes! I’m still biking but it’s more casual on the path at Independence Oaks either dragging along the kid on the trail-a-bike or towing the baby in the trailer. I would love to do a little more hard-core ride but Wednesday’s we have swim class.

I am not going to make it. Clarkston has their annual "Taste of Clarkston" event from 12-6 on Sunday. Beer tent, live music, and food vendors lining both sides of main street. Also, for those who might want to join me at the race track, I'm signed up with 3 Balls Racing for Grattan on the 29th. |

Hi all, new here in the AA area. I just parted ways with my Jeep and picked up a '19 STI, so far I'm really enjoying it!

Gotcha. I've sold my WRX and have a '18 Crosstrek now, but I'm tossing around the idea of getting back into a WRX or STI.

The real question is, when are you lifting the STI to do some rock crawling like your Jeep did?
