No offence taken Niall, there's a locking tool in place to stop the cams moving but allows a bit of freedom to get the teeth in. I assume the exhaust to crank is as taught as I can go
Unlike in the video I have the tensioner in place before hand as its a right pain trying to get the tensioner bolt in when the engine is in the car. He has it easy with the engine being out the car. I then have it half on half off and slide it over the pulleys etc into place
Ive found that sometimes the belt is really easy to get over the tensioner (like in the last attempt with the crank being put the other direction) and other times it just does not want to go into place hence why I prefer to leave the tensioner in
Procta in that video though as the end you can see his crank pulley is slightly out of alignment (9:40) he even times it up to the crank then has to move it a bit to get the cams to line up
