I am changing my timing belt, I set the crank to TDC and same with the cam gears at TDC. I put the belt on, and try running it around. I do full rotations on the crank and then my cams are 1 tooth off. What could I be missing? I have a factory Helms manual for my car but it doesn't go into any great detail on tension, but I just push it up as hard as I can and tighten, but their is still so much play in the belt on the front side I can never get rid of.

You sure it's the right timing belt?

Did you replace the tensioner?

with the crank and cams at TDC:
- loosen the tensioner bolt 180 degrees
- turn the crank 3 teeth counter clock wise
- tighten the tensioner bolt

but the belts up next to each other make sure its the right belt.

this was it. Thanks for all the help, got it all on now and tight. So now all I got is the alternator belt and p/s belt and I am set.
