loose timing belt
I have a B20VTEC with a B20B block and OBD1 B16 head, GSR timing belt, oil pump and water pump. I would like to know how to adjust the tension on the belt and or if i might have a serious problem. As far as i can tell, I caught this before I jumped any teeth and threw off timing but I am not completely sure of that.

Re: loose timing belt
never done a timing belt job on my car or any honda for that, BUT im almost positive its a mechanical tensioner which would me your tensioner is colapsed, id replace it. i mean they arent that much money and you got to go in there anyway! im sure someone can confirm this...

no... the tensioner is bascially a big bearing the belt rides on it, theres nothing to colapse, to adjust it losen the 14mm bolt holding it tight, rotate the crank pully counter clock wise 3 teeth and re tighten, u can also take a screw driver and put under the tensioner and pry up a bit to get the belt a bit tighter.

Re: loose timing belt
there is no cover on the top half of the cover and when car is at idle, i can see that the belt looks loose.
