Hi, got my timing belt and tensioner done as per the FAQ, but I don't think I got the crank pulley tight enough. Car runs OK, but I get a lot of valve clatter climbing uphill. I borrowed the special tool to hold the pulley and torqued it to 44 ft lbs, but what it the extra 60 degree bit? Ipushed it a bit past the 44 ft lbs but the valve clatter makes me think I didn't do it right.

I did adjust the timing belt tension but that didn't stop the hill climb clatter

Barely driving 100 miles a month, less than a mile each way to and from the train but I should fix this.

thanks,

michael
