Maybe the 1000 allows enough room?This is why I first put the belt on then while holding the belt on the cam gear install the tensioner.I'd like to hear from the 2 members that bent valves what their mistake was so we can clear this up.Oh, a wrench is called a spanner on the other side of the ocean.</blockquote>
