Remove the plugs. Put a ratchet socket or ring spanner on the nut of the alternator. Push the belt tighter with one hand whilst cranking the socket. easy!

Thanks for the replys. I have opted for the Custon TW's from the US to end up with .006"

I have one TW at .092 (marked STD) and one TW at .097 (marked .005) Wich gives me a float of 0.00866" Just outside the recommended tolerance. So I need a +001 or +002, but they don't seem to be available from the usual suspects. There is a place in the US http://www.customthrustwashers.com/ but still not sure if they supply the sizes I want. Has anyone used them? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also! The TW I fitted 5000K ago have a white metal surface. (seem to remember purchasing NOS TW) The rear one has appeared to have melted the white metal surface off. There is no damage to the rear main bearing. The car was running an auto, just converting to manual when found the end float problem. Did have a problem with the oil plug at the end of the cam blowing out? And was running an oil bypass for the rockers for a short time without blocking the original feed hole? It is also possible that I put it in back the front or with a too smaller tolerance. Anyone had this problem?

I am converting my 2500 sedan to a manual box. So I am left with the auto oil cooler now being redundant. I have a spin on oil filter which seems to have provision for an oil cooler. The question is can I drill and tap and fit outlets to the spin on oil filter body and use the auto box oil cooler as an engine cooler? With a temperature sensor of course. Or will the engine oil pressure be to great for the auto cooler?

Thanks Pete and John, splains a lot. The engineer alos ground the outside, said they were too tight. I purchased a new set for the new cam. Bernard.

Just pulled my cam after about 5000k to fit a different one and find four of the followers are pitted. This is obviously because the engineer resurfaced the old ones and declared them good to use. There is no damage to the cam shaft. The question is can this damage on the followers cause a ticking noise like a loose tappet.
