Well Dave and maybe others - I have replaced the timing belt tensioner with a new one that had a much slower spin on its bearings (so the old one is probably too used to use)

Now I'm finding the advantage I had of having put the belt on originally while the engine was on a stand!

Are there any tricks to keeping all three sprockets at their individual marks while slipping a new belt over them?

For some reason I may have missed that in the write up you sent me a link to.

The new tensioner (even though it's spring is unloaded) still puts a good amount of tension on the belt and makes it hard to slip the belt over that last sprocket (in this case I tried the intermediate shaft sprocket).

After finally slipping the belt over that last sprocket the marks were off by about 1.5 - 2 teeth on the intermediate shaft and the crankshaft when I had the camshaft right on its mark.

Maybe I should slide the belt over the tensioner last???
