I'm finishing up a timing belt job and I can't get the tensioner to stay aligned correctly. I turned the tensioner counter clockwise to line up the notches but once I turn the engine over a few times the notches move apart. Specifically the inner notch moves clockwise. The Bentley says I need to turn the inner notch clockwise to align it but I don't see how this would work, since that would have meant turning the inner race/notch almost 360 degrees to align it with the other notch.
Is this slight movement normal or is the tensioner faulty?
