timing- does this look right ??

And cmspaz thats how it was before i turned it over i could put the pin in and out very smoothly and then i turn it over and it goes tighter like it is.

The purpose of the tensioner is to maintain belt tension. In order to do so the tensioner must have enough travel both ways. The pin hole is the middle of travel. It should settle so that you can put the pin in. So you turn the engine over a few times like normal engine operation and it should center over a short period of time.

If it settles like it is in the picture it is wrong.
