I need help making sure my tension is correct on my timomg belt. I have followed all the stepss and each time when i am complete applying the tension utilizing the auto tensioners, it seems as if the tension is incorrect. The side of the belt towards the front of the car has adequate tension, hpwever tje opposite side is sloppy and lose. Any help would be appreciated. I can send picks if that helps. Thanks.

 

That is the way it's supposed to be. The crankshaft is turning CCW and pulling the TB down to turn the camshaft, so tension side will be tight and return side will be slightly loose. When you've turned the belt as per instructions and lock tensioner, you're done. This is after you've turned 6 rotations and checked timing remains aligned on crankshaft and camshaft.

good luck

 

Thank you so much.
