fuck man i was just in MG, i just got home.

FYI the belt will be loose when the motor isn't running is some positions and then tighten up once you start it again. I know I've worried about mine in the past being on the loose side and it was ok.

How loose? like an inch deflection on the cam gears? that would be ok.

I can wiggle it freely. And most likely could slip it off of the cam gear. Im in Brooklyn center right now with the car.

Post a vid. Odds are like Aaron said your at a point in the compression stroke where the belt is loose. Start it and check it again.

Ya there are a few spots were the valve springs will compress the adjuster. Start the motor, and check again after turning it off.
