Ok so just like the topic says, i believe my timing belts a bit loser then it should be. I have a b18a1 dohc integra and i dont have the top cover on my timing belt and i can see the belt kind of show some play, im thinkin i need a new tensioner. If you guys can think of anything else id appricate the help. O and it was fine about a week ago.

how long ago was it that you replaced it just to make sure that it doesnt need a replacement?

How much play is there in the belt? There should be a little play, its not going to have no play at all. Also check to make sure your tensioner is tight, he may not have torqued the bolt down enough.
