So Larry, if it is a cog'd belt an its on all the pulleys, what is stopping the belt from turning the rest of the cogs?
Are you saying that there where no ridges on the belt or that the belt was so loose that it was slack and the cams take so much effort to turn that the grooves jump out of the cogs or what?
I need to know, cause I can't see it.

p.s. I just like saying cog cause I use to like the Jetsons.

This has been known happen on nsx motors , I guess that is why they make a locking tensioner?

I may be a bit paranoid now, but I do not want this to happen again.

After fixing my timing , my mechanic said that in his opinion the belt could be a bit tighter still, but the tensionser will not allow it to be tightened any further. Would it be worth buying the locking tensioner that angus mentioned? Would this help with this issue?

If exhaust timing is late ? does it not mimick an exhaust restriction , think about it , as techs we look at the symptons, but repair faults (measure twice cut once) :wink:

ok everybody, I finally have some news to post on this.

The car is finally back to normal now. Turns out it was a timing issue. It had skipped some teeth so I had the timing redone and now it is back in action.

Thanks everyone for your support, help and suggestions through this. I appreciate it. Just goes to show what a great community we all enjoy here on nsxprime.

Am I reading these posts correctly? Did you just re-time the existing belt or did you put in a new belt and tensioner?

The belt, tensioner and water pump were only replaced a few weeks ago, so we re-timed them.

I am wondering how tight the belt should be as my mechanic said that in his opinion that it could be tighter, but the tensioner will not allow any further adjustment than what it is currently set at.

Belt tension is set by the spring. For stock engines, this will be fine. Remember that when the engine is up to temp, the tension will increase as the overall assembly expands.

Larry, its not xmas yet and your into the spiked egg nogggggggg?
The engine expands with heat, wow!
How much and at which angle?
Enough to tighten a belt that probably stretches with heat?
I got to find out the answer to this one.
