Not had her out on the road yet as she is currently burried in the driveway under a tone of flemmin snow! Pic's to follow. Phew what a couple of day's!
Did you time it up, then rotate the crank twice (with engine off) then readjust the tensioner? then rotate twice and see if the tensioner has moved again? Then recheck the timing?

If not, I bet your timing is now 1 tooth out

I love it when people call me at 3 AM. "Hey, you asleep?" "No, I'm skydiving."
