I figured I would post this since I was having difficulty with it, I figure others would have difficulty with it too. I had to pull my timing tensioner off when I pulled my head off, so obviously I had to put it back on. It was rather easy to compress with a large wood clamp since my largest c-clamp is 1/2 inch too small, but finding something small and hard enough to hold the piston in once the two holes were lined up was pretty hard. I tried a few things that I thought would hold, and now I've lost some tiny tools. I eventually tried my smallest allen wrench when I figured it would be worth it to sacrifice it. It held and didn't bend at all. So hopefully someone will come across this if they have the same problem.

That's hilarious..I thought about doing the same thing..lol. I was too afraid it would slip and fly off in another direction or damage something. Wood clamp works though and is safer..lol. -------------------- -Jay
