Hi John, Thanks for the reply. I was having enough trouble screwing up my courage to tackle the TB and WP change,lol. I'm relieved that the seals are dry. I think I'll let sleeping dogs lie. I had the oil trap and hoses changed a couple of weeks ago. Now there is a positive vacuum at the oil filler ...

I searched the forums and found plenty of info about changing timing belts that use the hydraulic tensioner but not any about how to set the non hydraulic one. I have a 1998 V70 GLT. According to the engine number, FCP tells me I need a kit with the non-hydraulic tensioner. I saw one video on youtub...
