Update: Last night i attempted to put the pin back in(which in my case is a tiny drill bit). I got thru the 1st and 2nd hole just fine but the 3rd was difficult. The pin must have been out a bit too far to get into the 3rd. I pryed with little force down on the tensioner arm and i was able to get the pin into the 3rd hole. So with that little bit i'm not going to worry about it. I rechecked the gap with a drill bit and i'm on the high side of .180 in. Maybe + .010-.020". With that little bit i just went ahead and bolted the t-belt cover on, put the pulleys on and said "DONE" to that part of the project. The belt is gonna stretch a little after time anyway.

Thanks guys...

...onto finishing the Magnus which is gonna be more of a pain in the ass
