Subject:Set V-belt tension hot or cold?
From:Gerald Masar

I recently installed a rebuilt alternator and adjusted the belt tension.
After a drive and the engine was warmed up, I noticed that all of the belts were
tighter than before.
I would have thought that with all of the heat, they would be a little looser.
So, is the tension properly set when cold or hot??
