First tension per Porsche approved method or any method or tool you have and feel comfortable with.

Porsche updated the procedure for the "machanical spring tensioner" on the late cars:



Then use the Water Pump Pully Test




I retension the cam belt after 500 miles. This gives the belt time to "fit" in the pulley cogs and initial stretch.

I change the $12 cam belt every 2 or 3 years or sooner if any coolant or oil fluid gets on the belt.
