If your setting the cam timing and you have slack in the right hand side of
the chain (looking from the front of the engine) you are doing something
wrong. You should only be rotating the crank, and consequently the right
hand side should be tight because it has to pull the camshaft around

Terry,
It was running around M but i wasnt going to leave it settle for it being
that hot.
I redid the Timing on the weekend, i was pretty sure it was out but how can
you tell forsure?? any way this time it is on #3 , because 1 and 2 left way
too much slack in the RHS of the chain, I also used a new tensioner which
had a fair bit more meat on it.
Put it altogether and it doesnt overheat any more!
Cheers Craig
