cam belt query

I have just complete my head gasket change however I have a small query about the cam belt

I have fitted a new belt and tensioner and made sure belt is placed centrally on the cam sprocket. However when I start cart it tracks to the side.

Is this a problem?, I have even tried manually turning engine a couple of times to completely centre the belt.

Pics Below, any idea's/opinions welcome

Hi,

The position of the cam belt will be determined by the position of the tensioner and any external influences, a few pointers.

Assuming you have not taken any of the toothed cam wheels off:

What was the fit like with the old tensioner and belt?

Has the tensioner been fitted fully home? Try putting the old tensioner back on.

I note a rub on the new belt in the middle, is this significant?

When I fitted my belt, the position was OK after a few turns, however it was not run up until some time later.



Hope this helps.
