This is getting embarrassing...

Yesterday afternoon, I put in the new tensioner roller and the tensioner. No, I didn't pull the pin! I just couldn't get the Tbelt under the water pump and over the roller. Nothing budged. So I took off the tensioner. The belt went on real easy. I had ample movement to pull up the tensioner, I thought.

This morning I verified all of the timing marks. Now I cannot get the tensioner into position! The top of the tensioner barrel is touching the roller and I cannot pull up the tensioner by hand any more that it already is. I need approximately 3/4" to get the tensioner to sit properly.

Stuck!

The belt is routed from the crank, roller, intake cam, exhaust cam, under the water pump, over the tensioner roller.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
