Hey everyone! first time poster to the forums here. I Have a 2003 Mazda protege5 that i got back in 2021 with just under 200k for $2,200. Fast forward to now and I'm doing a engine over hall, but I'm having timing issues. I have all the timing marks lined up, with all timing components being brand new. However, I can't seem to get proper tension on my belt. Last time I did timing on this engine ( head rebuild) I recall the spring being very annoying to get on, but now my brand new OEM spring is super easy to get on, therefore loose. Anyone else had this issue before? I'm following a paper copy manual and one I downloaded off the forums. Thanks for reading!
