There would be play in it and it wouldn't "hug" the cam gears...and would probably have jumped the timing already.

Open up the valve cover and check it out. Is his motor a DOHC or SOHC?

you are able to move it left and right, and when u start or during driving it starts to make a screeching /whistling noise as it rubs against the plastic protector and the valve cover top.

there should be less than 1" deflection, but don't make it too tight or it will wear out the belt and whine like a supercharger
