I've had a hard time finding anyone who's posted this... Everyone says to read up on it. So to make it simple for those of you without a service manual and need to reseal a leaky CCT, HERE YOU GO
pulling and restabbing the tensioner is pretty straight forward.
Removal:
rotate engine untill timing pointer lines up with the "c" on the timing plate. Remove the 2 allen bolts that hold the tensioner in place... carefully remove the tensioner.
Installation:
loosen the CCT holding bolt, compress the tensioner and tighten the bolt to lock tensioner in the retracted position.
push in on chain with finger thru tensioner hole to insure chain is poroperly seated. install CCT with a new gasket tighten the 2 mounting bolts to 7.5 ft-lbs (10Nm)
Loosen the holding bolt on the CCT, there should be an audible click as the tensioner is released and comes in contact with the chain. Make sure it does move into the chain; if not, remove it and correct any binding. tighten the holding bolt to 4.3 ft-lbs (6 Nm) and the locknut to 6.5 ft-lbs (9 Nm)
Now with that said I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you do this with the valve cover off so you can verify that the chain is on track and tensioner has put pressure on it. Just my .02
