That would be because its gone to far. Im 99% sure you engage it first but im not 100%
Id say best to wait for carl.

My torque wrench may do the 85Nm although its only rated to 80nm, if not any other way of getting them to the right torque. Also
if I do the crank to where I can with mine and then get it to garage assuming she runs, I could the tighten to 100Nm then couldn't I?

How do I tension it before putting it in?
Also I pulled the pin on the balance tensioner but it doesn't seem extremely tight, will that tighten more whe the oils in?

The balance chain tensioner has a ratchet inside so as long as you cant push it in to far you should be fine, have a look at my thread
failed balance chain tensioner
Theres 2 videos on there , 1 shows it not working and 1 brand new working great.
I think you push on the timing chain tensioner on a hard surface untill it clicks and engages. But im not 100% sure. Have a look on the forum(its got to be here somewhere hahah)

Ok thnx just pushed the main tensioner and yeh it released. Will look at the balance tensioner now to see if mines the same it is tight and I can't push it back in, just not overly tight.

Yeh that sounds about right on the balance tensioner.
