yea, thats too loose. You probably need a new tensioner.

I can push the belt down so it touches the vacuum pump. When I pull up on it,
I feel there is more than 1 inch of slack play. Seems too loose to me, but I

I'm wandering down the path of this SDL's overheating problem and I notice
something screwy. The tensioner has been bypassed. I tried to spin it with my
hand, and it's locked solid. Hrm....could the lack of a tensioner allow the
belt to slip enough to overheat?
