Did you replace the tensioner?

Try loosening the tensioner, rotate the crank pulley counter clockwise just a bit. Should take the slack out of the left side of the pulley system. Then, get a coat hanger, fold it in half, and then fold it so there is a hook on the end that you folded in half. Then stick that down and grab a hold of the tensioner. Pull up hard, and tighten the bolt. See how that is.
