Yeah, that's one of the gotchas of going to the internally regulated 10SI is that the alternator does not have the clearance for the valve cover when changing/adjusting the belt tension.

I assume that the 12si is similar in that regard.

Next time I have to do that I might just pull the valve cover to get the belt off and on again.
