Timing belt too tight

[hecyan]

I feel my timing belt too tight on the sprockets. Do you guys think is problem having the belt too tight or not?
thanks

perfect example of broken grammar hard to under stand. i believe the about 3 to 4 mm of flex is about right according to a chilton and hanes i read a long time ago

If you mean between the cam sprockets it's always tightest there (shortest distance) and is normal. Down above the idler and tensioner pulleys is where it's looser but the auto tensioner handles it (unless it is defective or not installed properly or belt has stretched beyond it's range).

Did you just criticize HIM of being hard to understand?
