I'm doing my timing belt.* It's at top dead center, flywheel mark on pointer, cam lock in, injection pump lock in, crank lock in and both the cam sprocket and injection pump sprocket are loose. *
Tensioner marks aligned up and tensioner arm is in the square and nut tightened.* So I tightened up the sprockets and removed the locks and rotated the engine clockwise a few times.* Then I checked the tensioner marks and they are not aligned anymore so I tried to line them up again and no go.* They will not get close.
I put the old tensioner back in and the marks align. I have not rotated the engine yet but will check in the morning.

Did I do something wrong?
Is the tensioner crap?
Is this normal?
Is the belt the wrong one?
**** it was all going well until the possible tensioner issue.* lol
