Hey guys I'm having timing belt issues. I just finished my motor build and installed the timing belt and ble timing tensioner and the belt seems to be pulled off the crankshaft sprocket after a few rotations and I can't figure out why, maybe too much tension on belt? I even loosened it up and it still does it. Here's a picture of what it looks like after about 7 turns.

 

I have no clue why this random picture that's not me keeps loading instead of my picture so here's a link.

the oil pump sprocket has a ridge on it that is supposed to keep the belt from moving too far outward. Is there something going on with that sprocket?

 

No its there and working fine its just pulling off the crank sprocket

 

Sorry, phone issues

 

is that a used belt?

 

I feel like if the oil sprocket is doing its job and holding the belt in place, it's too short of a distance to have that much variation in the belt around the crank sprocket. Have you looked at the belt itself to see if it's true? (straight cut)
