[@gianffff]

request I have to disassemble the central muffler the bend and triangular flange does not pass just lower the differential on the right side a little ? or it needs to be lowered a lot and you need a bridge and a tall car ........ domanda debbo smontare marmitta centrale la curva e flangia triangolare non passa basta abbassare differenziale da un lato dx di poco ? o va abbassato molto e serve ponte e macchina alta

[@gianffff]

Is there a pointer or similar on the tensioner bearing or do you just feel it without having the setting tool ?

[@Integralingham]

Hi Joey, thanks for your question, it's a long answer I'm afraid. Your spark plugs are out and the bottom pulley is tightened up etc, tighten the belt good and hard, turn the engine clockwise twice, back to the marks. Then slacken the tensioner until you can twist the belt between the cam wheels 70 degrees from flat, then tighten the tensioner bolt. Turn over twice again and check tension to the 70 degrees again. Balancer belt doesn't really need to be as tight. When you fit the cam belt with the tensioner slackened right off, as you tighten the belt it'll probably turn the engine until it's a tooth out, be careful, set the belt 1 tooth out on the bottom pulley if that happens. There is a proper flywheel locking tool, I don't have one. The new belts will sing a bit with the new teeth, they will settle down after a while.
