Timing belt and main oil seal change on 16v

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

If your changing the timing belt better change that tensionner as well, they
are the #1 cause for belt breaks on the 16v. They seize up..

I am thinking about doing this job myself in the near future.  Aside from
what's in the Bentely, are there any tips, hints, and tricks that you all
have come across while doing this job you would like to share with me.
Kinda like the "man I wish they would have put that in the Bentely" type
stuff.  If I take the belt of and replace with a new one and not touch or
rotate or move anything, can I just go ahead and start it up without haveing
to mess with a timing light, which I don't have?
