ok, im in the middle of doing the balance shaft elimination right now and i think i ###c'd up. the first thing i did after getting the timing cover off was crack loose the two bolts that hold the auto tensioner to the front oil pump cover. and when the last bolt started to be finished un-threading the auto tensioner popped a little to the side and came off and the timing marks are now a little off. then enough slack was in the timing belt to slip it off.but i havent taken it off yet ,and the motor was set to TDC. what i need help with is wasent i suppose to brake loose the balance shaft sprocket and oil pump sprocket before i let the tension out of the timing belt? ### now that i realized i screwed up i cant put the auto tensioner back in its spot to tighten the timing belt again. is there some way to compress that little piston thing on top the auto tensioner? i hope you peps now what im talking about . if not just ask. i really need to get this done. please!!!
