Cannot Get Timing Belt On S90-V90 1998

Old belt is fine and unscathed, so I just thought I’d reuse it. I might end up calling around to see if there’s a new one available.

Anyway, the tensioner is all the way relaxed with the pin installed. I’m starting on the crankshaft and running it up the right side toward the intake cam. That’s where I can’t get my slack built. If I don’t pull it taught, there’s a bunch of slack leftover on that side, and then it leaves no slack to slip it over the tensioner. I literally have like a half a centimeter to get the right tension.

The last thing I can think of is that it slipped off a tooth on the crank. I can take the lower cover off and see if it’s hung up down there.

I just don’t know how to build and maintain the tension coming from crank to intake cam. My dad suggested getting it on and then rotating it a little to sort of sit things right.
