  • how do I know what is the right tension?

  • ***VERY IMPORTANT***

    For all who follow this video you are on the right track. I replaced my water pump using these videos and it was a life saver for me.

    After I finished the engine the timing seemed to be off when trying to start.

    Tore it down and checked the timing marks and they were correct..

    Then I ***VERY IMPORTANT*** unplugged the cam sensor on the drivers side of the head, tried to start again with no luck, plugged sensor back in and BINGO.

    DON'T FORGET TO RESET THE CAM SENSOR
