Alright so I have all sprockets & pulleys lined up on the main timing belt, with the tensioner pin compressed.
I move the tensioner pulley just enough to tighten the belt, and tighten the center bolt, and then loosen the center bolt and attach the special tool for the tensioner pulley to the pulley, having it hold 24 inch pounds. While I'm still holding tension on the pulley, I torqued the center bolt to 36 ft. pounds and then released the tensioner pin, turned 1/4 turn clockwise from TDC and then counterclockwise to get back to TDC.
did 6 full rotations, and it's been 40 mins with another 6 rotations, and the pin hole is not above the tensioner body yet, what could be wrong? The tensioner is not old at all, not really even used with no oil leaks.
