No. Needs to be set when you tighten it up. Just done mine.

Are you doing yours? Do you know how and where to set the notch? I used a Torgue wrench to whatever the Haynes says.

Ill use a wrench to. Not just taking it a part and puting it together the same way it came off.
Y?

Guaranteed fail then. Hope all goes well...
If anyone else wants to do it properly, its not hard but you need to know what your doing with regards to timing holes and tension. Hardest bit is the tight space!
