Yes be careful with the crank bolt! Do it right so youre not creating bigger issues for yourself.

Bumping this from the dead.

Somehow I stripped my left upper tensioner guide hole. Anyone know what size thread that hole is? Could I just retap the hole or would I need to use a helicoil??

Please help!

the tensioners are m6x1.00, the guides are m8x1.25.

So left upper tensioner guide bolt holes are m6x1.00 or m8x1.25?

Thanks man! Hopefully I have that tap and can just rethread the hole.

good/excellent thread!!!

Bumping this up as I am at a complete lost right now.

All timing components were installed exactly how it should be - colored links matched dots on gears/cams/cans are both facing outwards also. The problem is when I install my ATI damper with the way the motor is TDC and the position of the crank key the ATI pulley isn't reading 0/TDC position. How will I be able to time the motor in the future if the pulley doesn't line at 0/TDC now?

About how many degrees BTDC/ATDC is your pully off? Do you mean way off
like 20* or so or only like 1* or 2* off from TDC?
The woodruff key on your crank is pointed straight up at 12 o'clock when #1 piston is at TDC on compression stroke right?

Believe the ATI I attempted to put on my 2JZ was the same way. I hate their junk. I pulled it off and went with a Fluidampr. With that said, is it a two piece that can be clocked and put back together?

I say if you're sure everything is correct, then etch the true marks you need on the balancer and call it a day or send it back and go with stock or another brand.

I am unsure how many degrees. I can take a photo tomorrow but my woodruff key was more at like 11 o'clock...

This was my initial thought. That the inner AC pulley and the other pulleys were two piece and I could split the pulleys and arrange them to match tdc but according to the ATI instructions there is a offset hole so I am unsure if it will even make a difference. I removed all the bolts from the pulley but it's not coming apart... I really wanted to use this instead of the stocker..

It should be pointed straight up at 12 o'clock when #1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke. Sounds like your timing chain is off a couple teeth.
I don't think this is the ATI pulleys fault. Put the stock pulley back on and see if it has the same problem as the ATI does. If so you know your timing is off.

Thanks for the help guys. Figured it out with TheBlackHand's advice.

What? Are you saying there's a problem with your tachometer and speedometer?
