Default ST170 head/Zetec turbo timing belt question

So my engine is very nearly finished



Its a silvertop bottem end with a ST170 head, but went to put a timing belt kit on it today and had a few issues with idler set up. Its a silvertop cam belt kit I was using.

Has anyone else used this set up?

Iam sure I could make something work with a bit of time just wondered if there was a easy solution to share that would save me a bit of time!

Cheers

Yeah I did wonder if it would be easier, but got the silvertop kit sitting here, so was thinking to loose the left hand tensioner, change the right hand idler to a silvertop bigger tensioner and try using the kit I got?

Crack on you arrogant prick.

There's no need what so ever in the slightest for your derogatory and purposely demeaning posts.

Its perfectly clear from my original post exactly what I meant, as everyone else understood it perfectly.

And if you dont know enough about Zetecs to guess what water pump set up I'll be using on a silvertop engine I suggest you stop trying to make yourself out to be the leading authority on Zetec Turbos. This is not my first Zetec Turbo sweetheart

Go run along now
