take the rubber plug out of the cover, theres a 14mm bolt there, loosen it a half turn, then turn your crank pulley counterclock wise three to four teeth. Then re tighten the tensioner, reinstall plug..

look below your driver mount,, theres a rubber plug, it has a little lip on one side to pull it out... this bolts exposed on the picture, thats where the plug covers

loosen the bolt a little more than half turn just to make sure it is loose, but DONT LET IT FALL, or you will be taking ur crank pulley off to get ur tnesioner bolt back. Make sure the tnesioner can move, maybe a little encouragement from a small straight blade, just a little nudge, dont like pry on it or nothing. Good luck, try again. And a wire tuck shouldnt have touched ur timing belt. must be a complete coincidence that it happened, but also shouldnt have loosened up that much just sitting in the garage?

Yep, retarded at the same time because if you dont know where the component is located at you shouldnt touch it.

I'd like to see a suspension overhaul write up and test drive.

lol funny. i fixed it so its all good and tight now. im just not very familiar with b16's because i've only had it for like 3 months and i haven't really dug into the engine bay. but now my vtec isn't kicking it because when i was doing this the wire broke off right where it goes into the plug that plugs into the vtec soleniod plug becuase it was old and worrn out so now i have to figure out how to get the wire back into it good because its already crimped and ive never dealt with this.
