I recently finished my LS/VTEC and my timming belt keeps slipping off the cams and settles over the tensioner/cam sprockets/and crank sprocket about 4mm. It has worn a very small line onto the belt a little. Just wondering what would cause this to happen? What would make the belt come/slide over a bit?

Perhaps a bad tensioner? Are you using a new one?

 

do you have that special washer that goes in between the crank sprocket and pulley? i had the same problem...washer was on the wrong side.

Using the same one. I have two others around the garage I can use. One off a b16a and the other off a B18b from an old engine tear down. Are the tensioners all the same for b-series motors?

Good idea! I will double check that again tonight.

Yes, they're the same, but I'd suggest picking up a brand-new one.

 

Found the prblem and fixed it. Had the washer on incorrectly. Thanks bboy.
