Ok i snapped a belt a few months ago, bent some valves... etc....

Its all back together now, ive put the belts on and tightened them to where i can push on the belts and there is about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch if i press hard.

However there is some slack on the top part of the belt on cam belt between the crankshaft pull and the cam gear, its the belt that slides in between the smooth non adjustable pull on the water belt and the chrome smooth metal thing( forgive my technical terms ) but im not sure if that is suppose to be there because everywhere else on the belt has no slack.

I would really really like to not start the car and bend the valves and have to start over, do i really really need the tensioning guage, thanks josh
