when i put it on...it was nice and tight....but once i started the car it got loose and flabby....can this be the reason from 1-3k rpms the shit feels like it doesnt wanna go anywhere...then it picks up like a beast after that

 

you have to turn the motor a couple of revolutions before you tighten the tensioner.

 

I wouldnt be driving it like a beast if I were you with a loose timing belt, or your going to be walking like a beast

 

Do not drive it like that anymore. Your not having the correct tension on the timing belt. Try again.

 

question...i was told never spin the crank clockwise....not even to line up the bottom 1st???? could this b why

 

yea...id be sooo fukn tight...i just rebuilt this shit...lol i think i would just sell everything and get a benz or sumthin...

 

take the lower timing cover off and check to see if everything is still aligned.

if everything is good loosen the tensioner a turn or two until its *slightly* loose.

turn the crank counterclockwise about a quarter of a turn (maybe a lil more).

when your turning the crank cc check the amount of tension on the left side of the belt and at top of the camgears - as you turn the motor the slack in the belt will be moved - when the slack reaches the tensioner pry up a little on it while u tighten it the last turn. turn the motor over 2-4 times and make sure the tension is in the right spot and the left side of the belt isnt loose. thats it ur done it takes about 1.5 hours

 

cash paid to the person in richmond that lines this shit up right....erything is off....im fed up...tooo much play n the damn belt...

 

Do you have a mini me/ls vtec or any mismatch shit? It could be the wrong belt..

 

gsr block...b16 head....gsr belt right
