See Post #8.
Thx all
In my opinion washers on bolt #5 were backwords.I.m talking about bolt #5 and washer #4 that is on the other side of pulley.On my tensioner tick washer is on the outside .I believe washers #4 and #6 were flipped.They must not be the some thickness.
I.m in Aurora Ontario ,any locals can help ?
Thx again

Imo's question re warning system is to the point. If you took a vote, most here would recommend Porkensioner; it would have eliminated the very problem you experienced, i.e., washers in wrong position, not to mention other moving parts, oil leaking from a bad seal in the tensioner and at the interface with block, maintaining proper tension. The tensioner and the warning system (electrical contact and ground wire) are really two separate systems to contend with. If you are going to get hands on with your belt and tensioner and the grounding wiring and really want the warning light to be functional, then there is your answer.

Hey bud, I'm always willing to lend a hand. You lent me the tools so that I could do my TB/WP job, so helping you out is the least I could do! As you know, I've only done the job once (and on a 16v as opposed to your 32v) but hopefully I could be of some assistance.

As long as you don't use Conti timing belts, you're probably OK with the Porkensioner. If you use a Conti belt, you need the low tension warning system. I did. The belt stretched out quite a bit after 25K miles. I wouldn't have known it was going South until it was too late had the low tension warning system not alerted me.

You know what would make it really superior; if it would have an over-tension warning.
Would probably save a lot of failed waterpump bearings, rapidly worn cam-gears and snapped off cam snouts.
