I didn't break anything.
I Jammed a MASSIVE Flathead through one of the holes in my Crank pulley so when as it spun it'd lock the screw-driver in place while I was on it with the impact gun, I was figuring it was gonna break, but I already bought a new one.
Atleast I got it off.

See though, I doubt he wants to break anything. He has 2 people working on it, thats what I had, and I didn't break anything.
they make a special tool that holds the crank pulley while you take off the crank pulley bolt.

If you aren't having trouble holding that pulley in place while he's on it with the gun, you need a stronger gun. We had a 300Ft/Lb gun dead on it for 5 min before it came loose and we were using a 25 gallon tank, My 5 gallon tank wasn't giving anywhere NEAR enough power.

The thing about you holding it is that when the gun hits, your hands absorb a lot of the impact when the pulley moves. You need to have it braced against something so that it will not move even if you tried to move it. TRUST ME DUDE. I just did all the exact same shit you did. All of it. Heat. Holding it. Fucking everything dude. Just take my advice and put some extra effort in and do it how I and haynes do it.
Z6 belt should be correct, that is the belt I used, and it works perfect. the D15B Belt is a tooth SMALLER than the Z6 belt, and the A6, B7 and B8 belts are all 2 teeth LONGER than a Z6 belt to my understanding.
D15B 103 teeth
D16Z6/Y8 104 Teeth
D16A6/D15B7/B8 106 Teeth
*again, to my understanding, but I know for a fact my Z6 belt worked on my B8 bottom and Y8 top
To loosen the tensioner you get I think a 14mm Socket on the bolt on the tensioner pulley and loosen it a little bit.

Always use the timing belt for the head. If you have a Z6 head, use a Z6 timing belt. As far as the tensioner, 14 mm socket to loosen it, (you know where it is, right?) and it moves up and down. Be careful, they can be pretty tight, I ended up rounding mine out and I had to buy a set of rounded bolt removers, which are actually very handy to have on hand.
Also, do you know how to do a sort of base timing?

you pulled it..off? With pliers? Picture or something please? You shouldn't pull it off, the timing belt rolls against it.
