So how do you guys do timing belts on your Twin Cam engines (specifically an 8V Turbo engine in my case) without the special tool the workshop manual says you need?
A member of this forum (bugsymike) kindly took a picture of the appropriate workshop manual for me, and the workshop manual says you need this tool to set the tension on the belt:
I just did a timing belt on my 1991 Croma 2.0T i.e. and I'm afraid I didn't put enough tension on the belt. I tried as hard as I could to shove the tensioner against the belt with a pry bar before I tightened the bolt down but I don't think it was enough (the belt is walking on the tensioner)
Do you guys have the tools yourselves? Or how do you make do without them?
Thanks in advance!
