Message	On my test start after a fresh timing belt job, I noticed there was slight smoke coming from the timing belt cover area. Peeled back the upper driver side timing belt cover and noticed the belt is riding all the way to the back of the sprockets. The belt was touching something on the back side because of this. What's going on here? Is that supposed to fix itself? Did I miss something? Anything I can adjust? On reassemby, I noticed that the belt was really really close to the piston on the auto tensioner. -baggar11 1987 300zx n/a (sold) 1990 300zx TT
