Bryanj:
Dont torque the m6 just do them last and to hand tool tight, only torque the main ones

I know what you mean about the tensioner, just have confidence that everything went into place pretty easily when you lowered the block.
The front part that sits between the chain has side lugs that if it's not in place would stop the block going flat down if its not in the recess slot iirc.
The rear tensioner blade is easier as it has the adjuster bolt plus the top mount - iirc the top bolt has an O ring - this is just from my memory. I have the same sort of panic attacks - I ought to take assembly photos so I can check my work but I don't - thats when doubt creeps in.
This was the advice from Bryan & Ken on fitting the tensioner that I followed.http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,28541.510.html
DomP:
I just used the very lower end of their torque range on the 6mm flange bolts which I think was about 7 ft lb Bryan.
I agree Ted, but I have to have something to wake me in the middle of the night😀
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have my blaadder for that Dom. ;D ;D ;D
I know what you mean though wrestling with problems & solutions makes for restless sleep until the tricky things are done.
DomP:
Oh I've reached that point as well Ted, I thought I was still young at 44
