I bought a new timing belt for my 96 dc integra 5 speed... put the belt and adjusted the time, but the belt runs a lil bit off the cam gears...any ideas??

 

the timing belt tensioner?

 

i did also tightened the timing belt tensioner...is there a specific way to it?

 

put allen keys in the cams to hold them lined up. then redo.

 

so hold cams in time and put belt? i also forgot to mention , that recently i changed the head gasket and the head was taken to the machined shop to be shaved, does this make a difference? would i need a NEW timing belt tensioner??

 

Quote from the manual for tensioning the belt (1998 Integra page 6-9)
1) Remove the cylinder head cover.
2) Set the No. 1 piston at TDC
3) Rotate the crankshaft five to six revolutions to set the belt.
4) Set the No. 1 piston at TDC
5) Loosen the adjusting bolt 1/2 turn (180deg) only.
6) Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 3-teeth on the camshaft pulley.
7) Tighten the adjusting bolt to the specified torque.
After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 177Nm.

 

Sounds like u didn't put the timing belt guides back on

 

ok...might have miss the guides..wheres is that at?

 

On the crank there's a timing belt gear there should be one on each side of that gear

 

+ 1 on the guides check that asap , or serious problems will occur
