timing belt loose after adjustment....is this normal?

Post by hmfl »

Hello,
Followed shop manual to properly tension the timing belt. I've observed that whenever one of the pistons is at TDC, the belt between the cam gears is loose, play is about 3/8". Is this normal or did I do something wrong. It is a brand new OEM timing belt.
Thanks!

Harrison.
