Hey guys,
Just got the head resurfaced and I went to go put my timing belt on everything lined up but my belt wouldn't tighten which would normally indicate Tensioner. BUT IT TIGHTENS EXCEPT FOR ONE SIDE,IT IS EXTREMELY LOOSE!!
ANY IDEA?

 

get a new belt it might of streched? or a new tensior those r the only 2 things that could not make it fit right

 

ok thanks I ll get on that.

 

did you follow the correct procedure for tightening the belt?

cylinder 1 at TDC (not really necessary)
loosen the bolt on the tensioner 180 degrees
rotate motor (via crankpulley) counterclockwise three teeth.
tighten bolt on tensioner
turn motor over a couple of times by hand.

generally, this procedure will take the slack out of the "front" side of the belt.

 

yeh it seem to be the back side where the intake manni is I will try some other things and report back thanks for the help

 

what i usually do is set it alittle off on the crank pulley along with the cam marks about a teeth off and then when i turn the crank pulley and the belt tightens up...the marks would line up...to get ur belt tight...just keep turning it untill all three sides are tight..fron back and on ur cams..then tighten the tensioner bolt where the belt remains tight

 

attempting to sort this problem out tomorrow and I will report back.
Thanks again guys
