Message	The tensioner should (by design) put the adequate amount of pressure based on the charge in the hydraulic cylinder. My guess is you didn't put enough pressure on the tensioner when you tightened the bolts down, or possible the bolts weren't tight enough and it slipped (less likely) Just repeat the process and put a little more tension on it. What I do when I install a timing belt: -Adjust the gap to 4mm with the bolt (i.e. slowly compress with a wood clamp or other soft clamp, loosen bolt, releast clamp slowly, measure, repeat) -Install tensioner, put pressure on lightly increasing until I see the piston just barely compress past the bolt -Tighten bolts while holding -Rotate 1 CW, 1 CCW -Remeasure (Usually grows to 5mm) Never had any issues ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)

I'm going to purchase a long pry bar to - flashstar 12:34:46 05/21/15 Re: Did you remove the auto-tensioner stopper bolt? - flashstar 12:36:16 05/21/15 i never did all of that pressure to piston stuff. - LivinTheDream 23:39:58 05/21/15 That's exactly how I did mine as well. (n/m) - Goldchocobo 12:18:56 05/22/15 I finally got the pressure set properly. - flashstar 13:33:21 05/22/15
