timimg belt tensioner froze up, broke timing belt 900

Before you start working order a new T-belt and tensioner.When you get to do this it is also a good idea to change the front seals,replace the water pump and the front aux.belts.You will need to remove the crank pulley.24mm socket and breaker bar.Unless you have a big strap wrench to hold the pulley you can "jam" the crank by removing the transmission bellhousing and putting a flat screwdriver between the flywheel and the block.The tensioner spring can be compressed with a Channelock and I usually "lock it" with the tip of a wire from a clothes hanger.Putting the cam and crank in time is easy.The back of the T-belt cover has a mark(dot) that aligns with the one on the cam's sprocket.The crank's sprocket also has a mark that aligns with a "notch" on the block.Unless you have a 16 valve motor there is no damage done to your motor.Good luck.
