Chaps, I need a few pics of partly built up M50 engines please...

For example, I have stripped mine back to the block and I want to check I haven't missed anything out or not put things back in the correct order....

The main bits I want to look at are the front belt drive tensioners and alternator brackets etc....

Don't want to get it wrapped around my head so if someone could upload a few of their pics on here that would be great.

I bought my M50 and ancilliaries together some time ago but the ancilliaries were all ready seperate in a cardboard box so not 100% what goes where in what order.

Thanks in advance
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

How do you get it on then? I rigged it up like that but the belt seems way too short, does it stretch on?

Is the secondary belt on the lower left air con related for the E36/E34 etc?

Cheers again Dan you nerd :D

You turn the spring loaded tensioner clockwise, as in the arrow, flick the cap off and there will be a fastener to turn it with.
Its really quite simple winkeye
