Hello Lee: I did what you suggested, but still running out of room to install the tensioner, which is new with the piston in locked position(not engaged). To tighten the right hand-side of the belt, I locked the crankshaft with a 30mm socket, position the intake camshaft off one tooth to the right of the timing mark, fit in the t-belt, than move the camshaft to the left while holding the t-belt tight by hand around the water pump. Doing this tighten the belt some-what, but not enough. I even tried to reinstall the old t-belt in but run into the same problem of not enough room. Andrew
