Timing belt Tensioner

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

if you have the lower timing cover installed, it will get in the way. you 
can get away with loostening the top nut for the cover and pull it back 
enough for the tensioner to clear it. also, as others have stated, the pass 
mount can be an issue, but if it is, your pass mount is probably bad. i 
would see how far that side sinks and change it while i was in there (if 
necessary).
