the 'pointer' in the cambelt tension is supposed to sit in the 'V' when the engines running right??....is there a specific point to set the pointer to??.....ive tried setting it to the mark provided in the past and it always runs just outside the v......
how much past the 'v' do you normally set it?
are the sbd steel rollers wider than the standard plastic ones?

it doesnt always sit exactly in the V.
just as long as the belt isnt silly slack or slapping when the engine is running it should be fine

whay cant you turn the engine over? without being able to turn it over its impossible to set the cambelt tension. also on these engines you cant 'guess' the tension by twisting the belt as valva sport suggested.

well, you can only check the tension by turning it over by hand anyway so thats not a problem.
