The idler needs to be seated into its recess by tapping it in with a mallet. Pulling it in with only the bolt is not enough to get it all the way in, and can lead to it going in crooked as well. I have experienced this too.
Have you tried seating it that way?

hi v8volvo
thankyou for your reply.
yes i have tried tapping it in gently however the hole seems off center when the idler is tapped in square as you may be able to tell from the photos. i thought perhaps the idler hole itself is not completely central and thus you have to put the idler in a certain way to match the block. but if not i cant understand why the hole is not center. the only way the hole is centre is when the idler is placed on the piss if you like and obviously if you tightened it at that it would pull the idler even further out of alignment. I'm not going to lock it up until i know its all correct as we dont want another broken d24. thanks again for your reply.
