just put on the timing belt after getting everything all lined up and i was wondering about how tight should the timing belt be?? How much give should there be in the belt .... cause from what i understand you dont want it to tight, correct???

 

anybody????

 

Not too tight, not too loose. Just feel it, you should know.

 

i think its like 1/2 inch to 3/4 of and inch to play with

 

Follow the process in the Helms - works every time. You should be providing NO extra tension on anything - the tensioner spring gets the job done.
