[Shotimes] 3.2 swap into a MTX

[van Oss]

Is it not possible to simply retain the ATX tensioner?

One point that I don't think is covered in shotimes is there is a
dowel/steel pin that is used by the MTX timing belt tensioner has to be
relocated on the 3.2 block.  Those pins are real hard to get out but the pin
in the 3.2 has to be removed and re-inserted 2 inches to the right to line
up for the mtx tensioner. Along with this,  you have to remove the stud that
holds the atx tensioner in place and remove it. This stud/bolt  I believe is
a different length ( might be wrong ) from the one used by the MTX tensioner
and you should use the the MTX bolt/stud. I have bought several after market
of the smaller dowel/pins  that are close in size and have red loc-tited
them in versus using the original pins that I have mangled getting out !
