Ford 7L1Z-8620-A V-Belt

The belt tension is automatically adjusted by the belt tensioner and does not require any adjustments.

To inspect the drivebelt, with the engine off, open the hood and locate the drivebelt at the front of the engine. Using your fingers, move along the belts checking for cracks, separation of the belt plies, fraying, and glazing. Both sides of each belt should be examined thoroughly. Additionally, check the tension of the drivebelt; it should be tight enough to prevent slipping but not overly tight, which could cause premature wear. If any signs of damage or excessive wear are found, it is advisable to replace the drivebelt to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent potential breakdowns.
