Note: The spring in the tensioner only gives the belt the initial amount of tension when installing the belt. After that, you tighten the bolt on the tensioner pulley and from then on the spring does nothing. You are going to have to remove the pulley that the drive belt is on down at the crankshaft. There are marks behind that as well as marks on the camshaft that show if it is correctly timed.

Ok, so I got one of my buddies who builds these engines to come over, he said it might be the timing belt, I rotated the timing belt untill the cam shaft marker, which I guess is that arrow in the circle that is bored out of the actual pulley. It was facing up, and the line on the crankshaft was facing up, now this little cut line was on the accesories belt part of the pulley, im guessing thats the mark but im not sure if there is another mark on the otherside on the cog. But the two marks lined up, but i thought they could line up a little better. I took the belt off and moved the cam shaft a little. then re-installed the belt. To no avail, the same thing, it would just turn over but no start. How do i check the compression if it doesnt start? It seems like its not getting fuel, but it has pressure at the lines before the injectors.. your help is appreciated
