how much play should the timing belt have on the long side (exhaust cam )? i was looking at it with the motor idling and i could see it flapping a bit. should it be really tight when i push on it or is a little play normal?

i searched before posting this. what i need to know is should the long side of the tb be really tight, as tight as the belt between the cam gears? or should there be an inch of play, like it says on the cspeed site

 

just went out and retightened it according to helms, still flaps around. should both sides of the belt have the same slack? when i look at the intake side it doesnt move around at all, should the exhaust side be this tight as well?

yes.

i like to put the same amount of tension on all three sides of the belt.....
(little to zero deflection)
