timming belt rubbing/coming off?
i recentally installed some skunk2 cams into my car along w adj cam gears. a 93 vtec
i have removed the b/s and im still running the auto tenshioner
i am also running a vibrant manual tenshioner... it mounts where the power steering used to be!
the problem is when i start the car very slowly the timming belt walks it's self about 3/16 of an inch off the cam gear it actually barely rubs the timming cover and the valve cover!!!!!!!
it hasnt fallen off but i dont want to drive it like this?
it seems tight for sure!
why is it doing this
all i have done is let the car idle and rev it up just a bit!

Well fist make sure all the stock equipment (tensioner, timing gears and pullies are installed correct with the correct washers.
Next I would try taking off the vibrant tensioner and see if the belt still tries to move to the front of the cam gears. Just as a diagnostic procedure.
If the doesn't work next thing to try is stock cam gears.

the crank pulley bolt is not torqued down all the way!
could that be causing the belt too comeoff the cam gears</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yyyeeeeaaahhhh....why would you start the engine with that bolt loose? The timing gear on the crank could easily have moved out a bit and caused the TB to also move.

Even though you arent running the balance shaft belt, do you still have the balance shaft pulley on the crank pulley? If not it will allow the belt to walk out as you describe, since that pulley holds the belt in its proper position.

You left the BS pulley off
All that stuff has to be on there in the right order or all the TB gears won't line up.
