Your new belt tensioner tool looks great. I don't have a 3D printer. Is there anyway that I can buy one?

Thanks:

This might be a dumb question, but does this work on a 16 valve S2 engine as well?

Just wanted to get an opinion before I print again. I initially printed this in PET-G and found it was clicking way too tight. I am unable to move the water pump freely at all. Should I try prining in ASA as its less flexible? Could that be the issue? I've tried with two different torque wrenches and both are the same.
