Timing belt slipped

The car has a slight valve tap, but runs. Not that I'm going to even starting the car again until it's fixed. The belt starts doing the wave any thing over 4K so the tensioner is bad. Here is what I don't know is how did the belt slip so much and it not kill the valve train? Any help or opinions will would be appreciated.

*edit* The car has 106K on it so it's adout time or way over due for a change, but I was waiting to do the belt when I got cams at the end of summer. I bought the car in Dec with 103k on it. So it's be broken with a smoke turbo and clutch.

It does not look like the timing is off. But the picture is hard to see the dowel pins. The belt jumping I would say bad tensioner.

I was going off the timing marks (the red lines). I've only done a timming belt on a SOHC engine so I'm still new at this. As is said I think I have valve tapping and not lifter tick it sounds like it's coming from the intake manifold the thing that is weird is it sounds like it goes way when you go above idle or my exhaust is just to loud to hear it.

When the dowels are at 12:00 there are 4 marks on the cam gears that should line up with the top of the head. Also I would not turn it from the cam turn it from the crank. 1/2 scoket driver clock wise not backwards.

Does the belt appear to run true on the cam sprockets?

the belt has a little side to side movement

If you have the timing belt covers off make sure you check that the noise your hearing is not the crank trigger plate hitting the crank sensor.

I did not reply to the noise forgot you might be right. Grab the crank and pull and push check for play. It is brtter to have someone watch it is hard to see when you do it.

I'll ck that out today. I hope that isn't it I don't have the funds for a new motor right now

I cked the crank pulley and it's good I also rotated the engine and it was pretty smoth and it's only off by a tooth it just looked worse before.
