Hi all, just doing the timing belt on my RB26. Been 20 years since I did one so I've forgotten most things!

All genuine Nissan belt, tensioner, idler, spring. Followed the factory instructions but gave it a little tighten as I thought it needed it. Started it and it whined like no tomorrow. Stripped it back down and just let the spring do it's job. Whine better but still quite noisy. Stripped it all again and just took a smidge out of the tension. Now I have no whine but worried it's now too loose. Seems to be a fine line between too tight and too loose!

Belt has some vibration on the intake side and want to check this is normal/ok. Turned it straight off after the video, just to put your mind at rest! Thanks.
