February 4, 201016 yr Author if the belt is jumping teeth then you have the cause of the initial belt failure. six teeth is almost? 90 degrees. are you compressing the tensioner correctly? and releasing the pin after you get the belt on? it could be faulty. It us very evident that the AC belt cut the timing cover and got under the Tbelt after the AC tensioner broke. The tensioner seems to be working. I took about 20 minutes to compress it with a C clamp set vertically in a vise. There was definatelty resistance as I torqued the handle. Any way to check for correct belt tension? If the belt is a one way belt, would installing it backward, cause it to jump?
