As the title states, I can't seem to get the slack out of the idler pulley side of the belt. However it seems to only be loose after I've ran the motor. I've followed the Vfaq for the 2G to a T, using brand new OEM parts from EPSI and a stub BSE with the oil groove. I can get the timing on point with everything right. After it's ran for a drive or two, I notice there's enough slack in the top of the belt to slightly rotate the intake cam when pushed down between the gears. With enough slack to push the belt off the idler pulley. After I spin the motor over, the tension returns, but not like when timing was first set.
On top of all that, there is a loud whining noise that comes from the belt area that gets louder with rpm. It sounds like straight cut gears, but I'm not 100% sure it has them or not. I've made sure nothing is rubbing against the pulleys, the belt, or it being the alternator pulley or water pump. I've read setting the belt too tight can cause the whine, but it seems too loose already.
What else am I missing? Anyone have any decent tips on doing a tbelt? I've read numerous threads on tuners, but nothing that seems to pertain to my issue.
