    Do you have a preference for an order of installation of drivebelt accessories once the timechain cover is on? E.g. it appears easier to install the AC compressor (the hardest of all to install because of the bolt positions) before the alternator, which is right above it. I think no specific order is mandatory but one way may be slightly easier than another.

    Follow the FSM, assembly is reverse order of disassembly.

    Pretty sure the belt tensioner needs to go on before the ac compressor.

    Honestly, I use logic.
    Sometimes you get it all right the first time. Other times, you don’t.
