Would for sure be interested in a set of these! Great work so far.

There shouldn't be that much slack. These don't use a sprung tensioner. The center of the tensioner roller has an offset mounting hole and a hex hole, and you just turn it with an Allen key until it's tensioned how you want it and then torque the nut that holds it so it can't back off. I did mine based on a writeup on here (I think it was this one) and IIRC I just pointed the allen key at the crank, torqued the nut to spec, and checked that the TB was hard to twist past 90°... then redid it several times because I was paranoid about setting it wrong. Do the seals. I skipped my crank seal when I did mine because it wasn't leaking, and it started leaking as soon as I had it buttoned back up. There's also a bypass hose on the water pump that's a good idea to replace while you're in there. Good luck! Hopefully the PO didn't leave you too many more easter eggs.
