Friend.
Sadly I could not get tensioner tensioned properly.
25nm and it still loses tension after 5 rotations by hand.
Accidentally made crankshaft slip and hit the valves when testing.....
Buying new tensioner tomorrow answer hoping engine is still good.
Was using GATES. But the torix bolts SUCK

[@MeFixingEverything]

Use 10mm normal head bolt.
