Great success!
engine is alive and healthy as of now, I ended up using the same tensioner because im to impatient to wait a week and it looked new anyway. bolted it all back together and primed oil system before starting this time. just disconnected oil feed to turbo and with spark plugs out cranked until oil was coming out took about 2 minutes total cranking time.
main lesson to be learned - with any oil system part change like oil cooler, pump, or oil filter relocation.. prime oil system first to make sure its flowing and fix if not.
left this off my project thread because im tired of just the "this is what part i changed again today" posts. want to start actually driving this thing. oil cooler is gonna be last mod for a while and hopefully the next posts on the build thread will be driving and maybe a road trip south of the border to do some track time.
