I'm not looking for a number on the tenioning tool, but just comments on how tight the belt feels after driving around town. After taking the belt covers off, the belts (timing belt especially) felt much tighter than when the motor was cold and the cam gear was dialed back 1.5 teeth. Has anyone else experience this?

I'm just looking for peace of mind as I did the belts myself.

Thanks.

 

Timming belt is rubber for a reason. aluminum expansion. Thus set up when cold. That is why the setting is so critical.
