Tensioner pulley adjustment

So I switched out my rattling tensioner pulley and noticed there is a torx bolt that seems to adjust spring tension. How should his be set?

Re: Tensioner pulley adjustment

If you didn't loosen that bolt and only replaced the pulley you don't need to adjust anything.

FYI - minimum tension for automatic tensioner is 50-70 pounds.
