Timing belt tension problem
So i replaced the cam seal on my f22 and figure i changed the timing belt because it was oil soaked. Ive done this before but i cant remember how i got the tesion right so any help would be nice i have my Hanens manual to but no help there either. The left side of the belt has a lot of play and wiggle room but the right side is tight like it should be. The cars is in time i started it and let it idle. I drove it down the street (two house down) and back to the garage no mishaps but you could just hear the belt slapping around. So any help on how to get the tension right would be awesome.

Make sure you have the correct belt first off, it may be a tooth or rib bigger which I had before. Also, try giving a tiny bit extra of a pull or push on the tensioner before you lock it down, I've found that to work out in my favor.

One belt gets tight then the other one gets lose vise versa with the main belt and the balance shaft belt. Thats when i pull and tighten the bolt.Comment
