Did you even loosen the tensioner? You can't just slip the belt off and then back on and expect it to tension itself.

A valve adjustment takes 30 minutes, even if you have to redo all 16 valve lashes. Double check your clearance with the next size up feeler gauge.

I just had this problem with mine...may not be the same problem as yours but just something to look out for. Make sure that the little tab w/ the hole located on the back of the tensioner puller is on the peg on the block. Kinda hard to explain, i don't know if that makes sense, but go take a look and you'll see.
