i can not get my belt to get tight enough so that when i spin the wheel that i can get the belt tensioned right. so i can tension it down correctly. but when i spinn the wheel the belt jumps teeth and i have already gone through the tnesioner bolt. ---

here’s what I recently had to do on my h23a1 dohc motor which was different than when i had my f22b1 sohc… 1. get everything timed up PERFECTLY 2. loosen tensioner bolt 2/3 turn 3. turn the crankshaft bolt counterclockwise until it goes about 3 teeth (this will create the tension you want) 4. tighten tensioner bolt to spec 5. fin hopefully this helps … ---

sometimes the spring on the tensioner sticks, so you have to pry it with a screw driver, there is a good write up on honda-tech i just can’t find it now
