K so i got my b18c1 with ctr pistons in

i would TDC the cams and crank but when i pull up on the tensioner spring to tighten the belt and tighten the tensioner sscrew it would move the belt......

i am now 1 tooth off on the crank and my car feels like a b16 theres like lil to no pull

would being off a tooth do this?

 

Yes, I think so. High compression N/A motors are touchy like that, and my friend had timing troubles with his all-motor GSR for a while, which caused his motor to pale in comparison to what it used to be when the timing was correct.

if everything is at TDC when the belt is put on then you are fine. it's when things move and the belt is not on is when there is a problem.

 

we didnt have the lower t cover on when we did this i used the mark on the oil pump to guide it


i just want to know why when i pulled up on the tensioner spring the belt and or crank would move as well throwing the timing off

we compensated for it by moving the crank a few teeth past tdc to make up for the movement
