Here is one more that every TIII owner should know.....

TIMING BELT TENSION SHOULD BE AT ALL TIMES 95 FT/LBS!!!!!!


I have found this to be the best number. 110 is too tight and causes a little wear to start on the I-shaft bearings at the 9-11 o'clock position. Too loose will eventually cause the I-shaft teeth and/or oil pump teeth to strip off.
