K so after I was done and started up the car the timing belt moved left (passenger side) from the center of both cogs. I freaked out thinking it was gonna fall off but held. It is off the sproket and cam just a little bit but holding on. Why is this happening? Even when I move it back a few times it keeps going to that spot. Also I don`t have the little metal piece in front of the timing belt cause the old one got damaged. kinda looks like my belt is vibrating a little, but the car runs fine no ruff idle nor misfiring or anything at all, runs like it always has. Maybe I`m overthinking it all? Advice would help thanks d=-)

You have a lot to learn about cars I see. Whenever you do a timing belt, you want to change the water pump, idler pulley and tensioner pulley too. It's just a common thing to do while you're in there because you never know when one of those things will go.

I don't replace water pump cause it got life timer warranty...it goes i get s free one. Didn't know about the pulleys really. Now u said the tensioner and the idle pulley. I obviously know where the tensioner is but where's the idle Pulley is that the one that tensions that does the AC,crank belt? |
