I installed a complete Gates timing kit this weekend with a mitsu oem tensioner. Everything was torqued to spec and the belt tension is set perfect, but for some reason the pulleys are wining slightly. I cant really pinpoint which idler is making the noise, it seems to do it at low idle and then again when revved up. These were new pulleys from gates that looked oem, said made in Japan on all of them. The hydraulic tensioner gap is about 11/64 which is right in the middle of the range, the balance shaft tensioner is set with the lobe pointing about 10 o'clock. Do they have a break in period or is something wrong? Thanks.
