Sounds like you have the timing belt off a tooth maybe.

[SOHCpower]

y is that? youll have to in order to loosen the belt to turn it back a tooth.

First off what is your Ford Setup?

Secondly, I've NEVER had to loosen a tensioner to change a timimg belt or just to move it a tooth.

My timing is dead on and my distributor is dam near all the way to the firewall. so is a gsr I just worked on.

[SOHCpower]

yeah same as guest above... and i dont like slipping the timing belt off the cam gear all the time.. too much work to put it back on

[guest]

^ not if you loosen the tensioner and do the upper timing cover mod (cutting it so you dont have to take off the valve cover).

i cant loosen the tensioner, its on too tight... we tried a breaker bar on it too. i think the shop used an impact gun when the belt was done at 90k

[guest]

Its not even possible to get a impact gun on the tensioner bolt.

how long was your breaker bar? put a long bar on the break bar and remove the mount.

[H2Bcivic]

get a bigger bar. be careful u dont break anything tho!

[guest]

dont use a deep dish socket.
