Re: wtf!!!! loose timing belt
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
