cn,

Regarding step three in your advice: I also replaced my TB recently, and had the same problem, having to recompress a new hydraulic tensioner (twice) before getting everything lined up correctly. But, I question your advice about not release the pin in the tensioner until you have already turned the crank two revolutions - isn't it very likely that the belt will slip over one of the cams without the proper tension? Not sure - I didn't try it.

Also, one more tip - I found that loosening all five spark plugs makes turning the crank much easier, as there is then no compressed air in the cylinders to fight against.
