Yeah  :happy2:Just checked everything is at tdc and the tool has gone in nicely. Now to fit new tensioner and adjustor back. Which do people do first, tensioner, and then adjuster and chain or chain and adjuster first?

Great! Tensioner then the chain and adjustor go on the same time.

Hook the chain over the inlet cam then put the adjustor into the chain and try and get the pin in the adjustor to pop into the notch on the cam. I got paranoid and marked the chain i also tried moving the adjustor one tooth each way of what i marked and could not get it on.

I think you do the tensioner first (leaving the pin in) and then fit the chain and adjuster... bolt it up and remove the pin from the tensioner.


^^^^ beat me to it.

It's fitting and we all have our own methods for me you've got the adjuster out of the way slip the chain over the inlet sprocket then put the chain on the adjuster sprocket and nip the holding bolt up by hand next position tension in place and secure holding down bolts.
If all goes to plan you'll be ready for releasing of the tensioner locking pin and torque all items up and ready for baring over by hand.

Make sure the oil passageway to the tensioner is clear before fitting the tensioner Pesky.

Here's the torque values

Torque specs are the following All are ft lbs.

Cam adjuster bolt is 15 lbs plus additional 1/8 turn
Tensioner bolt is 7 lbs
Valve cover bolts are 7 lbs.
Cam chain case cover is 7 lbs
hpfp bolts are 7lbs
banjo bolt on fuel pump is 13 lbs
union nut on hpfp is 18 lbs

Im starting to think somethings wrong with the timing, I can't get the adjuster back on! Ive marked it and found a reference point and its got to be less then a mm off. I don't really get it, unless it is on! It doesnt feel like its sitting right though. Im thinking I might line it up so its nearly in, take the cam locking tool out and adjut the inlet camshaft slightl with the wrench to get it in.

Hope its nothing serious!

You'll change to a bar with I/2 drive to do the angle.
