Default Timing belt wants to jump teeth.

I would have been done with my whole motor build hours ago but my goddamn timing belt keeps wanting to jump teeth. I was doing the test rotations to see if it lines back up at TDC after 6 rotations and whenever it feels like it, the belt will try to jump a tooth but if I back it off it will be fine and keep it's place untill it feels like doing it again. I've been up for about 28 hours straight and I'm starting to lose my mind. What the fuck gives with this belt problem?

sounds loose. I don't know about the Bs but on Ds you loosen the tensioner and give the engine about 1/2 turn counter-clockwise then tighten the tensioner. It might be different on Bs but regardless make sure your tensioning it right.

I called Running925 and he told me to get a new belt and it solved the problem. Pictures and all that shit are coming tomorrow.
