Timing belt hitting cover, video inside

Ok problem after problem, i cant catch a break this week. Anyway, the timing belt on my b16a2 seems to be making a rattling noise like its hitting the casing that covers it. Check out the video. Anyone ran into this problem? what causes it and whats the solution.

no idea, i bought the motor off another guy..the timing belt had been replaced when it was swapped into his car...possibly his fault? he said it had been doing that for a while

took 3 tries to get the tension just right but the noise has stopped
