?! there is no "set tension" the tention is put on throught a dampener
make sure is TDC (top dead center) and it stays there (use the bar and the pin) ..do you have the tools to take out the fan ?

don't forget, tha fan that covers the timing belt cover is reverse threaded.....
so turn to the right to loosen - opposite of normal.....my fan was on there tigher than any fan in history after I got done cranking it to the left (counterclockwise)

hmm i didn't see that in my bentley ..so after you put it all together
you have to do that (put the 20Mn tension on the belt) and then tighten the cam sprokets i guess ..correct ?

i'd def go with what Mark said , he's way more knowledgeable that me or others.
i didn't do that and everything is fine.. i just made sure thatre was tension in the belt before i tighten the cam sprokets back up , having the cam lock BAR IN PLACE of course.
