place the belt on the cams without removing the tensioner?

[ant227p]

is there any way to place the belt on the cams without removing the tensioner? if not how would i go about doing that with the motor still on the car

no, you need to remove the tensioner. Unless you want to cut it? But I wouldn't do they. Read your manual you bought from autozone when you bought your car (you did get one right?) or go to vfaq.com and poke around there a little bit.

So what are you trying to do here? Are you trying to install evo III cams? and do it with the timing belt on? If so, then yes its possible.

You'll find everything there to do it. I you haven't done your timing belt lately, then just do everything at once. Unless I misread your question of what you are trying to do.
