ok so i have my car almost back together. i have cylinder 1 at tdc and my cam gears on the mark. i get the tensioner in and then turn it over with a wrench to double check my work. it all check out, but when i crank the car with the key my belt is off by a few teeth. the belt seems snug, no slack in it. but the tensioner has been off a few times. should i buy a new tensioner, or do i have other issues? thanks.

Do you see a lot of slack in the belt as the engine is running? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Do you see a lot of slack in the belt as the engine is running? no i do not. im not sure what is going on. i ordered a new tensioner to be on the safe side. i have my teeth marked with a paint pen too. gonna give it another go this weekend. i think it is what you said art, or the intake side has a lot of slack... thanks for the input. btw mike i drove through columbia a few weeks ago... lol -------------------- |
