Don't forget to loosen your belt when you sit down for Christmas dinner.

You might hear some squeaky noises behind you after dinner.

I know we're joking around a little bit here, but Add in the janky manual tensioner setup that is somewhat prone to being damaged, and it can be annoying to get right.

Yeah, I might sound like I am stating the obvious, but in my years on the XJ forums, I found a ton of owners who complained about belt squeal, only to discover they were not using a belt tension measuring tool, and/or they underestimated the amount of tension actually required.

 

And you are absolutely correct.  The older 4.0 tensioning scheme for the XJ and MJ sucked.  It was much harder to get sufficient tension than with the later system (which, unfortunately was used only on the later XJ's.)

Has anyone ever attempted to mod the later XJ's tensioner system to the older Renix engines?

The system works fine. ALWAYS spray the adjusting bolt with some lube BEFORE attempting to move it.
