Finally got the parts I needed to finish my project. But I have a question about the timing belt tensioning. I read Clark's and it says to start at the crank gear and take the belt around the cam gear and leave no slack.
The belt is fairly taught between the crank and cam gears. I'm thinking its too tight, because when I try to adjust tension with the Arnnworx 920 v.6 the gauge moves lower, rather than higher toward the proper range. The FAQ states that a lower reading is evidence of too much tension.
Question: when initially installing the timing belt how snug should it fit between the crank and cam gears? Should there be some deflection in the belt span between the gears?
Notice in the picture the the tension between the crank and cam gear. Also that the belt does not seem to fit completely around the cam gear gear.
