for anyone who has an issue with your timing belt loosening up after you "know" it was tight. this was my problem. on the actualy tensioner pully i was making it so tight i was sure it would keep tension. after i drove it a mile it would loosen up again and jump a tooth or two. on the actual tensioner pulley be sure the two little holes are straight across on the top. I did not know this. so i made a little tool to put in the little wholes and turned them straight across the top. Works perfect now. for anyone that may run into this. it was very useful information for me. i thought it was just suppose to be tight and should be ok. "wrong"
