Well today I have tackled my cambelt and water pump etc and it’s been peeing down most of the day but I wanted to finish cambelt so I could sleep easy and finish off tomorrow so pumps on and refitted cambelt and all was ok but the auto tensioner wasn’t going in got bottom bolt and then tried to lever it to get top bolt and was nowhere near so tried different ways and nothing so checked belt teeth etc and all looks good so tried again and snap goes the lil piston in the tensioner! I just don’t understand I done everything methodically and lined the tensioner pulley up pretty accurate to how it was it Just didn’t seem like there wast any room for the piston to be there as it was pretty much the body of it pushing on tensioner!? so guess I gotta fork out for one of those now but can someone tell me what is wrong and how to get over it I got my idea how to but might be wrong
I actually think the cambelt was originally pretty much bodged by someone tbh
Any info or guides will be much appreciated!
Cheers guys!
