just changed the belts -- bit-o-whine too tight? suspect balance shaft

[kenny]

The proceedure for the timing belt was very good and the recent purchase of the $$$ tool seemed to work OK. However, the tention on the balance shaft belt was also supposed to be 4.0 (same as new timing belt setting). The problem is this belt is thicker and the tool doesn't seem to work right. We kind of did a 'similar' feel to the timing belt type tensioning but were never able to get the thing to work right on the balance shaft belt and the proceedure in the manual just wasn't cutting it.

After we put it all back together (also new cap and rotor) it was a little hesitant first few minutes but seemed to smooth out and runs strong. There is a little whining going on and I've heard some people talk about their belts being too tight causing the rollers to 'complain'. I suspect the balance shaft because of the reasons listed above -- thoughts from you regular wrench turners? Thanks
