loose timing belt H22a

anyone even had a problem with the timing belt not staying tight on a h22? I used a brand new timing belt and a brand new auto tensioner. Please let me know if anyone has had this problem befor and how you fixed it.

Yes your wrong. You still have to set the tension.

I think you just set the marks then turn the crank pulley 3 turns counter-clockwise.

Re:loose timing belt H22a

well i put the belt on then took the auto tensioner key (the tool that keeps it compressed while not in the car) off...
drove it and noticed it was loose.. so i loostened the one bolt and tightened the belt up.. then drove it again
its better than it was but still a little loose
