Pulleys???
In replacing my water pump I am replacing the tensioner assembly with its 2 pulleys and the 1 idler pulley by itself.
The factory pulleys are installed with the "cup" facing outwards and the new tensioner, GoodYear brand that I got from Northern Auto parts off Ebay along with the NICE AIRTEX water pump the pulleys are installed with the "flush" side out.....is there any difference other than cosmetic?? Thanks!

Thanks!! Pop!! I think I'm going to install the new setup with the flush side out--and install the single idler pulley that way too.
One more question: When I removed the original tensioner assembly the long bolt that holds it on was stuck in it, and I gave it a tap and out came what looks like a small rubber "O" ring....I think it must have been slid over the bolt between the tensioner body and the engine bracket....wonder what purpose it serves?? think I should transfer it to the new tensioner assembly??
