Need in-person help with B20 timing belt...

I'm doing the timing belt on my B20 swap and I can't figure out how to get the slack out between the camgears at cyl #1 TDC. I just cannot seem to hack it.

I'm in Newport News, VA. Anyone who could help me do this would be much appreciated; if you've successfully done a timing belt on an LS or B20, just send me a PM.

Good beer and chronic to anyone who comes out, and of course, you'll get to see a fully wire-tucked B20 swapped Integra come to life.

There is slack in the belt between the cam gears. I thought, this couldn’t be right. The first time I installed one, I thought there shouldn’t be this slack. I thought I’d take that slack out of the belt and go to the next tooth. I was WRONG. What I failed to realize was, this was correct and was just the rigging phase. I hadn’t actually adjusted the tension on the belt yet.
