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.

i got it timed correctly. not sure what the deal was.. lol the paint pen trick is a good one!
1. make sure all your gears are lined up to the correct timing mark (use the paint pen to help) 2. make sure the belt is snug in the gear teeth 3. when you pull on the pulley to slide the tensioner in make sure nothing moves and the belt is secure in the gears 4. install the tensioner and hand spin the crank to double check your work -------------------- |
