Thanks for the reply TJ, thought I was alone.... Just spent 2 hours connecting the spring for the tensioner. (only took 5 minutes once I disconnected the timing belt) I think that is why my Compression tests were acting so weird. Timing belt was flopping and jumping teeth every 1/4th of a revolution. I've got to go get a pry bar so I can put the belt back on. That tensioner is way TIGHT now. so i'm done for the night until I can get some parts.

As far as doing the timing. The cams point up and towards each other, with the motor at TDC right?

and. what is BGB? that the mr2 manual? umm... big green book? I'm using the Blacktop manual. it should work right?
