Just picked up my first 1g dsm. '92 talon tsi awd. 64,000 miles. its been modded and molested, a project but TONS of potential
so I was under the hood and took the timing cover off. The belt has a lil slack, bout 1/2-3/4" of play in it. also while running I can see the belt shimmy back and fourth on the gear itself, ever so slightly tho. 1-2 mm at best.
Is this normal? or should the the belt be rock solid tight?
I do not know when or if a timing job has ever been done. I know timing is critical and wanna make sure its correct.
Thanks in advance!!
