Im replacing my head bolts with studs and im having a hell of a time getting the cams back in, how do i pull the timing chain tensioner with the motor still in the sled? Its impossible to get to , Or is there a trick to getting the cams in without pulling the tensioner? Any help is much appreciated.

I put my studs in with the motor in the sled. That it was a pain. Removed motor mount bolts on back side, also had to remove a lot of the steering supports and shaft. Still was really tight. Don't force it coming out or going in or you will break the little tit on the side that holds it compressed. Would have pulled the motor if I didn't already have my turbo installed. Fred
