great forum and I know there is a lot of talk about the timing belt replacement. Before I put the covers back on I think I did a shortcut by mistake. The tensioner I did not understand at all. I loosened the bolt and detached the spring to remove the belt and did the same to installed, I put the spring on and tightened the bolt. I did not under stand the granade pin but if I have to do I'll remove and try it. Belt seems tight, help!

use the grenade pin method, do it properly, you dont want to be taking chances with the timing belt, its not something to gamble on, i just changed mine yesterday!
