Timing belt fitting and clutch slave cylinder removal...

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Looks like its awful close, I'd say look into the tensioner and ensure that it is the smaller size.  Also, you might want to try removing the water pump bolts to get the belt on, then reattaching the water pump bolts, the belt should easily turn 90 degrees once properly snugged up.  The oil temp sender goes on the pass. side of the oil pump.
