That 0 to 1 mm upper preload could only be measured with dial indicator as far as I know. I've always guesstimated it after tensioning the belt. I never paid attention to what people said unless it was it the FSM anyway. It doesn't take much preload at all to make the BS belt whirr. I usually get a very slight BS whirr that dissipates in about 50 miles.
