Sounds like the tensioner is loose and incorrectly installed. Check that

Loosen the tensioner, rotate the intake cam clockwise to allow the tensioner to take up the slack, tighten the tensioner. Make sure the timing is still where its supposed to be.

Its on correct I just suck at it. I've tried turning it to get the slack out but still end up with it. Fml

Well for one you should have a little slack in the belt. You don't want it to be tight, because then you will get a wining sound, and it puts more of a load on the tensioner and water pump, and it can take out the bearing in them.

You should only have about .5" of slack in the belt.

instead of messing with my tensioner i pulled a cam out tilted it slid the belt on and reinstalled the cam that took all the extra slack out of mine, and i had been fighting with that belt for a couple of weeks haha. oh that will only work if the tensioner is already installed correctly hope this may help

I got all teeth on it, the top will be tight and the back or front will be loose. Then when I get it too tight can't get the belt on.

Havent messed with it today
