1991 Accord Balance Shafts Belt Tensioner

    On a 1991 Honda Accord LX 4dr I am reassembling an engine after a timing
    belt replacement.

    On the stud which holds the tensioners for the timing & balance shafts
    belt, am I supposed to tighten the nuts all the way down such that the
    tensioner pulleys will no longer move tighter/looser, or am I supposed
    to leave them just loose enough and then use the double nut concept to
    keep them from coming loose.

    When I took it apart, these two nuts were tight against the pulleys, but
    the previous shop's work was not trustworthy. Logic might dictate that
    the double nuts are there in order to permit the tensioners to adjust
    with the springs which pull on them, although those seem like puny
    springs compared to other engines I've had apart.

    Thank You.
