Nice clean install you have going on there,
If you have not already done so,
I would suggest to fill the tensioner with STP oil treatment, fill from the hole furthest away from the crank and let it drain from the hole closest to the crank use a Visene bottle with the tip drilled out ,this prevents you from blowing the internal clamp off the boot


the boot crimp i usually put at the 11 O clock position your looks to be at 7 to 8 O clock.

the internal clamp should be positioned so the open side is facing up.

NOTE the top bolt on the tensioer should now be removed prior to fitting the center cover as this bolt goes through the cover


Goodluck with your project

O2 sensor reset is under the passenger side cover at the side of the passenger seat ( assuming you are left hand drive -not AZ or UK or JP).Remove the cover and you should see a button/plunger - press it to reset the O2 counter.

Thnaks I'm done with engine first picture show it
Need help understanding How to reset the ox2 light?
need help undertanding hwta mean the "!" light flashing??? in 83 what should io look for I replace aux clutch cylinder, get new clutch fluid , replace front brake pads rear ones look new ? where problem cna be???
need to know if defrost switch is good or bad I press it and it light up.. but press it again nothing happen keep with light it is normal or have bad switch

[Mrmerlin]

stop touching the defrost switch, its going to cause the relay stick and then you wont be able to shut off the car,
you never use this part so leave it alone.
Read the owners manual to learn how the Defrost switch works,
BUT leave it alone


Before we go much firsther I request thet you prrroof red your wurdz,

It just makes it that much more difficult to understand what the issue you have are, and figure out a way to fix it.

To reset the Ox2 light find the small white box with the cables going to it, either near the CE panel or alongside the passenger seat under the cover.

On one side of this box there is a round standoff press the black part inside the standoff and you should hear a click this will reset the OX2 box

The I light comes on when the car is first started due to the E brake being on and
also the brake light check to be checked by pressing the brake pedal, once the pedal is pressed the brake light warning goes out. after the engine is running.

If the I light stays on then you need to check the warning lights to see what light may not be turning on when you first turn the key to run position,
use the owners manual to find the warning lights.

Other spurious causes are
the washer fluid tank being low,
the coolant sensor failed
or low oil level,
these can turn on the light but you may not see the dash warning if the light has failed in the warning area of the dash
