timing belt q

ok so i installed my cams and when i put the belt on i loosened the tensioner so i could slip the belt on the cams. is there a way i could tighten the tensioner back up without taking off the crank pulley?

Re: timing belt q

You don't need to do anything with the crank pulley to tighten the tensioner. Are you trying to set the tension on the timing belt?

Turn it at least 3 teeth past TDC with tensioner slightly tightened, then tighten tensioner down
