timing belt question
hey guys...im putting on a new timing belt right....i cant get the marks to stay lined up......they all line up nicely with the belt "loose"...when i set the tensioner pulley it puts the crank marking off about a tooth clockwise....so i called my friend (sleepydsm) and he told me that it should all line up after i have the tension set....so i thought it would be as easy as setting the crank pulley back one tooth so by time i got done tensioning it would be right on...well i did that and then when im done its off again but its off counter clockwise (the tensioner didn't take a full tooth of rotation out)! so whats the deal...is either situation acceptable?....is it possible i have a belt with 1 too many teath or something (different between years)!? haha i dunno....hoping this has happened to someone and ill get some more experienced minds in on the problem...
