NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE · 02-26-2008

We've been working on my friends Talon for the past 2 days using vFaq to replace the timing belt on his car. We all set to get the belt in but when we apply the tension to it, the exhaust gear always moves 1 tooth off of time. We've tried everything we can find to get it to stay but it won't. I've looked all over for tips on doing this and nothing's really helping. Just wondering if anyone has any helpful tips or tricks to get this bastard to stay in time.
Thanks,

-Tom
