Timing belt marks
Had time to look at various You Tube videos & noticed that very few situations result in the timing marks on the cam sprockets, lining up with the bottom of the v notch. Most of them are withing the width of the v notch. So I have set mine up the same & it all seems to line up after several turns of the crankshaft, so all is well. However, I have just changed the serpentine belt, only to find that there is no tension in it. The tensioner needed , quite a lot of force to slacken it off, but I weas able to get the belt on even after the tensioner had been released. I thought the belt was the wrong length, but I refitted the old belt with the same result. Can the belt tensioner have failed?
